• Well I work up Sunday morning,
  With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt,
  And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
  So I had one more for dessert.
  Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
  And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
  An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
  An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
