[English]

Early Monday morning, 'til Friday at five

Man I work, work, work but I don't climb, climb, climb

Boss man can shove that overtime up his can

All I wanna do is put a drink in my hand

To fill it up, or throw it down

I got a 40 hour week worth of trouble to drown

No need to complicate it, I'm a simple man

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

...

Yea the parking lot is muddy, can't get to the door

I'll take my jacked up drop er' down in four by four

Chill down a long neck, warm up the band

All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand

To fill it up, or throw it down

I'm about to tear a new one in this old town

Five, four, three, two, one I'm a rocket man

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

...

Make me wanna go ouhhh ouh ouhhh, when you dance like that

You got that little tattoo playing peek-a-boo on your back

Yea if you want to impress me, baby here's my plan

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yea fill it on up, or throw it down

When you drive me home, take the long way around

You be my Lois Lane, I'll be your Superman

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

My head Monday morning that alarm clock sings

It goes bang, bang, bang, while it ring, ring, rings

Yea I'll let it all roll, if you wanna rock again

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yea fill it up, or throw it down

I got a little hungover, still hanging around

That hair of a dog is howlin' "hey there man"

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

That hair of a dog is howlin' "hey there man"

All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Haaaaouuhhhhh
