| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| I’m up in the stars |
| I’m looking down at the gutter |
| When I’m good, I’m very good |
| But when I’m bad, I’m better |
| Oh barman fill this glass again |
| And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when' |
| Oh barman, fill it to the top |
| And we’ll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop |
| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| The only notes that matter |
| When I’m good, I’m very good |
| But when I’m bad, I’m better |
| Oh barman, fill this glass again |
| And keep on pouring 'til Death says 'when' |
| Oh barman fill it to the top |
| And we’ll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop |
| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| (Repeats) |
| Me and all my friends are coming 'round to your house |
| And we’re not going to go until we get thrown out |
| (Repeats) |
| Oh barman, fill this glass again |
| (Repeats) |
| They try in vain our minds to chain |
| (Repeats) |
| To chain (Repeats) |
