It's seven o'clock and I want to rock

Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys

My sister looks cute in her braces and boots

A handful of grease in her hair

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight

I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right

I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sounds that I really like

Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike

I'm a juvenile product of the working class

Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
