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 four a.m.
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
And 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
We speak in hushed tones
And dim down the lights
We're staying after hours tonight!!
In the morning?
I've been drinking since we clocked out
And now it's four a.m.
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
And 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
We speak in hushed tones
And dim down the lights
We're staying after hours tonight!!

"But they're such a generous couple, ALFREDO and Pauline..."
Plus: "You IMBIBE all you can" - it means drink! Invibe is not a word.
The lyrics are written in the insert for the album, how hard can it be?
face down in the la train.
I do believe it's latrine.
As in toliet.
As in you are puking your guts up from drinking too much the night before.
