I get up in the morning in the usual state 
Listen to the breakfast show and know that I'm late 
Clock in at the factory and pick up my tools 
I never give a damn because the union rules (OK) 
I'm back in the old routine 

I drop in at the local for a pint and a chat 
End up at the takeaway for Siamese cat 
The wife is watching telly in a pink negligee 
The midnight horror movie and she's ready to play. 

I look forward to the weekend and Match of the Day 
When we're back in the old routine. 

Perhaps I'll win the pools and be a millionaire 
I'll get myself a sports car and a sexy au pair 
I'll buy myself a yacht and sail away for a year 
With Susan George for company and plenty of beer 
But I'm still in the old routine.
