Verse 1
Me and my bro go to the Aussie bar
Where drinks are flowing and cheaper by far
Stumbling drunk a man appears
Slurring his words and holding some beers
A never ending story he begins to tell
Our eyes glazed over — are we in hell?
Chorus
We raise our glass to one more round,
That’s what we said, just look at us now,
Swore we’d be gone by half past nine,
Now it’s daylight with my partner in crime
Verse 2
Words of wisdom from a drunken stranger
Hard to listen to a syllable changer
We smile and laugh and try to pretend
But what we think would truly offend
So we gather our beers and drink them fast
Spot a little gap — we’re gone at last
Refrain
Swore we’d be gone by half past ten,
Now it’s daylight with my bro again
Verse 3
Smiling and joking we hit the road
Looking for love or something close
We wind up going to an Irish pub
Around the corner from the comedy club
The line’s too long, it stretches far
Holy shit — they nearly got hit by that car
Refrain
Swore we’d be gone by half past eleven,
Now it’s daylight — feels like seven
Verse 4
We ask the bouncer for somewhere new
Tattoos on his face, said “follow through”
His mate said “walk to Milsom Street,
You’ll find a place with girls to meet”
By this time my stomach’s rumbling,
Can’t believe my legs still functioning
Refrain
Swore we’d be gone by half past twelve,
Now it’s daylight — can’t trust ourselves
Verse 5
We stumbled into this place called Lane 7
Drinks and games — this must be heaven
Promised ourselves we’d not get arrested
So told the girls they looked real festive
They laughed at us — don’t know why,
Could’ve sworn that line would fly
Chorus
We raise our glass to one more round,
That’s what we said, just look at us now,
Swore we’d be gone by half past one,
Now it’s daylight and still not done
Verse 6
Turns out luck was on our side,
Teachers out drinking, end-of-term high
Beer pong bouncing off the wall,
Cheering loud every time it falls
Lost the game but won the night,
Couldn’t throw straight — but that’s alright
Final Refrain
Swore we’d be gone by half past two,
Now it’s daylight — I’ve lost a shoe
Outro
Kebab van glowing like a holy sign,
Chips and grease at closing time
Laughing hard the whole way home,
Making jokes we won’t condone
Chorus
We raise our glass to one more round,
That’s what we said, just look at us now,
Swore we’d be gone by half past nine,
Now it’s daylight with my partner in crime
Yeah with my partner in crime
