Horse racing is a mugs game

So is bingo and the pools

Drinking, drugs and smoking

But without them we are fools

If we did not have our pleasures

What would we do instead

We would go around like zombies

So we might as well be dead

To drink and smoke without the dope

It will keep your mind at rest

And whatever problems you had before

You can get it off your chest

You can get tipsy and be happy

When you go out for a beer

You have been out with your friends

Good luck God bless and cheers

But hard drugs are a different story

It can ruin your life and kill

If you can get hooked or addicted

Thats when you slide downhill

So take it from a reformed drinker

just take life in your stride

Never drink while your driving

And hold your head with pride
