Lyrics: Have A Drink On Me by AC/DC
Whiskey, gin and brandy With a glass, I'm pretty handy I'm tryin' to walk a straight line On sour mash and cheap wine So, join me for a drink, boys We're gonna make a big noise So, don't worry about tomorrow Take it today Forget about the check, we'll get hell to pay Have a drink on me Yeah, have a drink on me Yeah, have a drink on me Have a drink on me I'm dizzy, drunk and fighting On tequila, white lightnin' Yes, my glass is gettin' shorter On whiskey, ice and water Yeah, so come on, have a good time And get blinded out of your mind So, don't worry about tomorrow Take it today Forget about the check, we'll get hell to pay Have a drink on me Yeah, have a drink on me Yeah, have a drink on me Have a drink on me tonight Get stoned Have a drink on me Have a drink on me Have a drink on me Come on Going another round Gonna hit the ground Take another swig Have another drink Gonna drink you dry Gonna get me high Come on, all the boys make a noise Have a drink on me (Have a drink on me) Have a drink on me (Have a drink on me) Ah, have a drink on me (Have a drink on me) Have a drink on me Have a drink on me Have a drink On me
