The Lyrics
IT'S MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN
It's money down the drain,
When I go and bet.
The money that I spend,
Is something to forget.
Yes, money down the drain,
Leaves me stony broke.
When I get back home,
It really is no joke.
I know that I'm in trouble
When greeted by my wife.
She always says the same thing:
"Oh, why don't you get a life!"
It's money down the drain,
I can't afford to lose.
I'd be much better off
By spending it on booze.
I know that I'm in trouble
When greeted by my wife.
She always says the same thing:
"Oh, why don't you get a life!"
(Go and get a life!)
It's money down the drain, (money down the drain)
I can't afford to lose. (money down the drain)
I'd be much better off (money down the drain)
By spending it on booze. (money down the drain)
It's money down the drain,
When I go and bet.
The money that I spend,
Is something to forget.
Yes, money down the drain,
Leaves me stony broke.
When I get back home,
It really is no joke.
I know that I'm in trouble
When greeted by my wife.
She always says the same thing:
"Oh, why don't you get a life!"
It's money down the drain,
I can't afford to lose.
I'd be much better off
By spending it on booze.
I know that I'm in trouble
When greeted by my wife.
She always says the same thing:
"Oh, why don't you get a life!"
(Go and get a life!)
It's money down the drain, (money down the drain)
I can't afford to lose. (money down the drain)
I'd be much better off (money down the drain)
By spending it on booze. (money down the drain)
