Don't wanna stay in and watch TV – Let's go down the pub
Want to escape from reality – Let's go down the pub
Don't wanna know about another war – Let's go get drunk down the pub
Booze and birds you're living for – Let's go down the pub

That's where you go with the lads
Gonna drink, trying to forget
Till closing time, then you're off
Then you're off, straight home to bed

[Chorus (2x):] Down the pub… Down the pub… Down the pub we go

Had an argument with your girl tonight – Let's go down the pub
Wanna get drunk and start a fight – Let's go down the pub
Don't wanna talk about the news you've heard – Let's go get drunk down the pub
Better chat up a pretty bird – Let's go down the pub

That's where you go with the lads
Gonna drink, trying to forget
Till closing time, then you're off
Then you're off, straight home to bed

[Chorus (2x)]

Life, they say, is so much fun – Let's go down the pub
Don't think about the things you've done – Let's go down the pub
Just ignore all trouble ahead – Let's go get drunk down the pub
Buy us another round instead – Let's go down the pub

That's where you go with the lads
Gonna drink, trying to forget
Till closing time, then you're off
Then you're off, straight home to bed

[Chorus (2x)]

… Down the pub we go
… Down the pub
… Down the pub
… Down the pub we go
