Lads' holiday

Lads' holiday

Eat me eggs and bacon
Wash it down with beer
At the airport, down another -
This is why I'm here!

Am here with all the lads -
We're having a holiday!
Somewhere warmer than here
Hope there's no delays.

Had another pint
While watching information.
Cannot properly focus
Cannot read location.

Not sure where I'm going,
Not sure if I've been!
Feels like I'm going to puke,
Looking a bit green.

Guts now completely empty;
Bought a book to read;
Don't intend to read it -
Didn't really need it.

Plenty of sex on the beach;
Another coctail or three
In a hotel with a 2-star rating
That's a mile or so from the sea.

I've been drinking since sunrise
Keeping up with all my mates
Following what they do
Watching them demonstrate!

Turning all nocturnal
Lie in bed all day
Sleep off my hangover
For the disco near the quay.

Chat up all the birds
Feeling a bit pissed!
Chuck up up in the loo
Even though I've just been kissed.

Far away from home
Soaking up the sun;
Never feeling quite myself
Even though it's fun.

But as I board the plane
The crew took me aside
The've barred me from flying
Couldn't walk in a straight line....
