(Raise your glass! the night’s still young!
We’re not done ‘til the devil's sung!)
(Stomp! Stomp! Hey!)
Woke up on the wrong side of broke again
Kissed my luck as it slipped down the drain
Lost my boots in a poker bet
And my dignity’s soaking wet
But I ain’t cryin’, I’m still standin’
With one more fall, I might start dancin’!
Rock bottom has a basement, boys
And I found it with a grin
There's laughter in the wreckage
And a toast to all our sins
If I’m goin’ down, I’ll go down loud
With a pint raised high and a rowdy crowd
Rock bottom has a basement — and the floorboards are thin!
Got fired from a job I never liked
Told my boss where he could ride his bike
My girl ran off with my best friend’s mate
But they left me the beer and that’s just great
Life’s a fight, and I’m still swingin’
If I’m losin’ — well, I’m still singin’!
Rock bottom has a basement, boys
And I found it with a grin
There's laughter in the wreckage
And a toast to all our sins
If I’m goin’ down, I’ll go down loud
With a pint raised high and a rowdy crowd
Rock bottom has a basement — and the floorboards are thin!
So bang that drum and light that flame
We’ll dance in ruin without shame
Here's to fools with stubborn pride
We’ll find joy on the lowest ride!
Rock bottom has a basement, boys
And I found it with a grin
There's laughter in the wreckage
And a toast to all our sins
If I’m goin’ down, I’ll go down loud
With a pint raised high and a rowdy crowd
Rock bottom has a basement — and the floorboards are thin!
So here’s to the mess and the muddy pavement
Even rock bottom has a basement!
