Finnegan's Hell - Work is the Curse of the Drinking Class Lyrics



Finnegan's Hell - Work is the Curse of the Drinking Class Lyrics




My old man said to me

When I was a little boy
Son, work is over-rated
In work there's little joy
Then he'd pour himself a whiskey
And he'd light his favorite cigar
We'd always hear him singin'
As he headed down the bar

Oscar Wilde I raise my glass
Work is the curse of the drinking class

The old man worked until he dropped
He never got no break
Finally one day his heart had
More than it could take
We gathered for his funeral
I saw a tear in mama's eye
She raised her fist high in the air
Then she let out a cry

Many years have passed now
Since my old man passed away
But instead of making progress
We work harder every day
I just wanna drink in peace
But work gets in the way
No matter what you do it seems
The curse won't go away

Raise your glass

Raise your glass to the drinking class
