Well, I'm tryin' to move in your brand new sofa
And I'm tryin' not to sully your shag
But just between you and me, as you can probably see
This kinda work is kind of a drag
Hey, and I don't doubt you when you tell me all about your problems
Hey, but I got 'em, too
Just tell me, lady, how did you get so drunk and stoned
In the middle of the afternoon?
Well, I've seen losers and I've seen winners
And I've seen in-betweens
And I've seen a lot of people with a lot to say
But that's a bunch of BS, if you know what I mean
And I know you're feelin' itchy, you're gettin' kinda bitchy
And your lover's gonna be here soon
But tell me, lady, how did you get so drunk and stoned
In the middle of the afternoon?
Well, the movers are here
Drinkin' their beer
Look out, lady
The movers are here
You might think they're kinda rude
Maybe kinda crude
But they're nice guys underneath
Well, the movers are here
Drinkin' their beer
Look out, lady
The movers are here
You might think they're kinda rude
Maybe kinda crude
But they're nice guys underneath
Well, I'd like to keep a-groovin', but I gotta get to movin'
Got a wife and children to feed
Life might be milk and honey, but you got to have some money
That's a substance that I happen to need
And I know the bug has bit ya, and I'd like to paint a picture
But by now you know the name of the tune
Just tell me, lady, how did you get so drunk and stoned
In the middle of the afternoon?
Tell me, lady, how did you get so drunk and stoned?
How did you get so drunk and stoned?
Tell me, how did you get so drunk and stoned?
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of the afternoon?
