Lyrics

  1. Let’s gather round and sing
    Let’s gather round and sing
    For we’re good pals all thru the night
    So, listen to our song

Refrain
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Before we roam or all go home
Let’s have another drink

  1. We’re in the doghouse now
    We’re in the doghouse now
    We don’t know what it’s all about
    And don’t care to find out

Refrain
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Before we roam or all go home
Let’s have another drink

  1. There’s not a cop in sight
    There’s not a cop in sight
    We’ve got our bottles on our hips
    Let’s hoist them to our lips

Refrain
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Before we roam or all go home
Let’s have another drink

  1. Before we say goodnight
    Before we say goodnight
    Tho awf’ly full and feelin’ good
    Just one more drink will do

Refrain
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Let’s have another drink, drink up
Before we roam or all go home
Let’s have another drink

  1. We’re in the jailhouse now
    We’re in the jailhouse now
    We just don’t think we had too much
    To land us in the clink

We’d like to have a drink, hic up
We’d like to have a drink, hic up
We don’t know when we may get out
So, please get us a drink
So long, so so long
So long, so so long
So long
