Has everybody got problems?
Are you stuck in a deadend job?
Frustrated and dissatisfied?
Are you on the edge of suicide?
Terrorist bombers on the left,
Fascist plots on the right.
Mass destruction and homicide,
Are you horrified and terrified?
Such a shame.

We’ve all got problems we know,
There’s one thing that’s for sure,
There’s only one cure for all your hangups and all your depressions.

Have another drink it’ll make you feel better,
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.
If you feel down and you’re under the weather
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.

Facts and figures.
Filling out forms.
Reading circulars.
Dictating letters.
Is your occupation
Getting to your brain?
Is there no relief?
It’s like a ball and chain.
There’s no need to get depressed,
Worrying won’t make it better.
There’s only one consolation I can recommend.
Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself.

Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.
Have another drink it’ll make you feel better.
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.
Have another drink it’ll make you feel better.
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.

If you’re feeling down and you’re under the weather,
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.
Have another drink it’ll make you feel better,
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.

If you’re feeling down and under the weather,
Have another drink and you’ll feel alright.
