After Hours - The Bluetones

How in the world will I make it to work in the morning?

I’ve been drinking since we clocked out and now it’s 4AM

But they’re such a generous couple, Alfredo and Pauline

When they offer a late night session you don’t want to offend

The shutters come down

And that’s what they’re for

We don’t want to invite in the law

It’s not often the case that we’re forced to sacrifice the jukebox

But the plug always has to be pulled on the quiz machine

So you imbibe all you can cause you’re partaking in something forbidden

And time after time you’ll wake up face down in the latrine

We speak in hushed tones

Dim down the lights

We’re staying after hours tonight

Where am I now?

Where am I now?

Where am I now?

I don’t remember a thing

I don’t remember, remember a thing

Lord only knows what kind of poison I’m drinking

I can’t read the label

So I’ll just dance off my cares like Fred Astaire

Up here on the table

The shutters come down

And that’s what they’re for

We don’t want to invite in the law

Speak in hushed tones

And dim down the lights

We’re staying after hours tonight
