A Hard-Earned Thirst Needs a Big Cold Beer,
But I Drink To Get Pissed (1)

The beer's all been bought with my brother's I.D;
My folks are away, and they've left only me:
The whole suburb knows - no need to call up -
My place tonight – teenage piss up!

Most of the girls will chuck (2) before eight;
Two Bundy (3) and cokes is all it will take -
There's sex in the backyard, someone will claim -
Though who's screwing who?

Some bloke will get angry his girlfriend's been nicked (4)
And take a swing at the guy who looked at his chick;
The girl will start screaming, "You two, break it up."
It's on at my place - teenage piss up!

My place tonight!

The party will break up when I call the cops
Or my parents come home and everyone stops;
There'll be CDs destroyed - mainly my dad's;
There'll be binge drinking, just like on the ads.

Years later we'll look back and think of the time
When we thought having fun meant all getting blind; (5)
And when we're away our teenage children play up -
My place tonight for a teenage piss up.

Drink beer quickly to be a real hero;
It don't taste nice – that's why they make Sub Zero's (6).

I don't have to go to a psychologist -
My reason for drinkin' is I wanna get pissed.
