When Work Is Over - The Kinks

When work is over he likes to hit the bars

And at the boozer we’ll have another jar

Because drinking can help ease the strain

Of his boring occupation

Dull conversation

Living by the book

And the rules and regulations

Drinking helps us to forget what we are

We leave the office and walk straight to the bar

Don’t stop to think

Have another drink!

Drinking helps us to relax with the chaps

A double scotch and we forget where we’re at

Don’t stop to think

Have another drink!

When work is over he likes to hit the bars

Go down the boozer and have another jar

Because drinking can help ease the strain

Of his boring occupation

Dull conversation

Living by the book

And the rules and regulations

Boring occupations

Dull conversations

Living by the book

And the rules and regulstions

Drinking helps us to forget what we are

We leave the office and walk straight to the bar

Don’t stop to think

Have another drink
