lyrics

It's 9 oclock in the morning, I'm going down to Wetherspoons
I'm gonna drink all of my money, and I'll be drunk by the afternoon
I'm gonna meet my old army buddies, they'll be there from quarter to
With their freshly withdrawn pensions, and nothing else to do

I'm gonna sit in my favourite seat, the one by the real ale pumps
I've tried all the ones they've got in, all the ones they've got in this month
And I'll strike upa conversation with mayone who has the time
And I'll listen to their storied if they'll listen to mine

And at 10 the young drunks enter and I know just how they feel
When they try to justify the drink with a £3 breakfast deal
And like me they'll be here all day long, but they'll do it with far less class
Get thown out in a violent flurry, but I'll leave after my last glass

And at noon we get the lunch shift, office types thowing back a few
Young mothers take a break from shopping, they bring the kids in, but what can you do?
And it's all calm by 3:30, as my eyes begin to blur
But I won on the fruity, so I'll stay for one more

And as I look around this table I see my very best of friends
Each one drowning memories, none can make amends
And we;ll drink to fallen comrades and to woment hat we've loved
And the last drink of the evneing we always drink to us

See when you get to our age you start to measure time
By the friends that you have buried and the few that get left behind
And round this table us old "fogies", will put the world to rights
So you young folk needn't worry, we've seen all the is, and so much more besides

Yes it's 9 oclock in the morning, I'm going down to Wetherspoons
I'm gonna drink all of my money, and I'll be drunk by the afternoon
I'm gonna meet my old army buddies, they'll be there from quarter to
With their freshly withdrawn pensions, and nothing else to do
