Mondays is for drinking To the seldom seen kid I've been working On a cocktail called "Grounds for divorce" Whoah Polishing a compass That I hold in my sleeve Whoah Down comes him on sticks But then he kicks Like a horse Whoah There's a Chinese cigarette case And the rest you can keep And the rest you can keep And the rest you can keep There's a hole In my neighborhood Down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole In my neighborhood Down which of late I cannot help but fall Mondays is for drinking To the seldom seen kid There's this Whispering of jokers Doing "flesh by the pound" To a chorus of supporters From the little town halls There'll be twisted karaoke At the Aniseed Lounge And I'll bring you Further roses But it does you no good And it does me no good And it does you no good There's a hole In my neighborhood Down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole In my neighborhood Ddown which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole In my neighborhood Down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole In my neighborhood Down which of late I cannot help but fall Someday we'll be drinking With the seldom seen kid
