I've been out of weeks for ages I've been on and off the train I've been losing sheep And counting sleep And I've drunk too much again But I'll take another cup Even though it'll dry me up Ooh, though I know that I should pass I will take another glass The cellar is empty, the cupboard is bare I'm joining the church and taking to prayer The landlord's complaining 'Cause the rent is outstanding And old Mother Hubbard's ran off with the chair Though I know it's time to stop I will take another drop Though I know I'm very sick I will take just one more sip Well, what about those empty cases? Come on Captain, punch my ticket Call my mother's name I once heard that a fly can't burn But I drunk too much again Though I've really drunk a lot I will take another shot Though I know it's a time to pass I will take just one more glass
