The Kinks
When Work Is Over
When work is over he likes to hit the bars
Go down the boozer and have another jar
Because drinking can help ease the strain
Of his boring occupation
Dull conversation
Living by the book
And the rules and regulations

Drinking helps us to forget what we are
We leave the office and walk straight to the bar
Don't stop and think
Have another drink!

Drinking helps us to relax with the chaps
A double scotch and we forget where we're at
Don't stop and think
Have another drink!
