Early Monday morning, til Friday at five
Man I work, work, work but I don't climb, climb, climb
Boss man can shove that overtime up his can
All I want to do is put a drink in my hand

To fill it up, or throw it down
I got a forty hour week worth of trouble to drown
No need to complicate it, I'm a simple man
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yeah the parking lot is muddy, can't get to the door
I'll take my jacked up drop er' down in 4x4
Chill down a long neck, warm up the band
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

To fill it up, or throw it down
I'm about to tear a new one in this old town
Five, four, three, two, one I'm a rocket man
All you got to do it put a drink in my hand

Make me want to go ouhhh ouh ouhhh, when you dance like that
You got that little tattoo playing peek-a-boo on your back
Yeah if you want to impress me, baby here's my plan
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yeah fill it up, or throw it down
When you drive me home, take the long way around
You be my Lois Lane , I'll be your Superman
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

My head Monday morning that alarm clock sings
It goes bang, bang, bang, while it ring, ring, rings
Yeah I'm ready to roll, if you wanna rock again
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Yeah fill it up, or throw it down
I got a little hungover, still hanging around
Yeah that hair of a dog is howlin' "hey there man"
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

That hair of a dog is howlin' "hey there man"
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand

Haaaaouuhhhhh Yeah!!!
