E        A              E
There's just time for another,
       A              E
Could down me another one,
          A               E
When I'm leaving with the others,
       A
Going home sweet home,
          E
Surprise someone,
        A             E
Put my key into the front door,
         A              E
Keeping quiet but I'm drunk,
           A                   E
When I'm creeping up the old stairs,
         A                             E
Stepping over the one, the one that's done,

Chorus:
B                         A
Now my head is starting spinning,
B                   A
Spinning round and round,
B                           A
Could be you with a man in our bed,
B                   A
Or it could be the wine,
     E
Surprise

There's still time for another
Could down me another one
But while I'm leaving with the others
No home sweet home, surprise no one
Throw my keys into the river
Singing louder than a drunk
And while we're sleeping on the old stairs
Staying up 'till its sun, down another one

Chorus

When I'm leaving with the others
Going home sweet home, surprise no one
