[Intro]
Thereâs this old bar down on the sea shore where the red light pours through the door
The bar man stinks, heâs got the shakes and he pours the whisky on the floor
But me and my friends we like to go down there and drink into the night
We drink together, laugh forever, until the world seems right
[Interlude]
âCause this old world donât relate to me; itâs all your job and your salary,
âCause this old world donât talk to me; Iâm not my car or my flat TV.
[Chorus]
So weâre gonna drink this bar dry tonight, weâre gonna drink this bar dry
Weâre gonna hold our heads high tonight, weâre gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
So I got a call from my old friend, he says, âHow you fancy a beer?â
So we go down to the old sea shore and knock right on the door
A suit appears, says there ainât no bar, they going to turn it into apartments
He says people like to see the sea whilst theyâre dusting their ornaments
[Chorus]
So weâre gonna drink this bar dry tonight, weâre gonna drink this bar dry
Weâre gonna hold our heads high tonight, weâre gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
So we look at each other, kind of clever, and burst right through the door
The suit he sees us, screams for Jesus, and drops his whisky on the floor
[Chorus]
Weâre gonna burn this bar down tonight, weâre gonna burn this bar down
And if we get a taste for smoke, we might just burn this town
[Verse]
So the suit starts screaming, goes right up the stairs, I say you getting no help up there
He says heâs calling the police, we going down, but weâre pouring whisky on the floor
[Chorus]
So weâre gonna drink this bar dry tonight, weâre gonna drink this bar dry
Weâre gonna hold our heads high tonight, weâre gonna hold our heads high
[Verse]
But me and my friend we look at each other and decide it just ainât right
We love this bar, we love this town, and plus we ainât got a light!
[Outro]
So weâre gonna drink this bar dry tonight, weâre gonna drink this bar dry
Weâre gonna hold our heads high tonight, weâre gonna hold our heads high.
