When the hangover strikes 
And I open my post 
And the coffee is on 
And I'm burning my toast 

I let the battle commence 
I see a sun in the trees 
And a draught at the door 
With my head in my lap 

There's a day to explore 
But I'm left without sense 
As the hangover strikes 
And I turn on the tap 

But the water's too loud 
And I'm caged by the fact 
That the battle's not lost 
Is it the hair of the dog 

Or the Baa of a Lamb 
In a sheepish attempt 
To be half of the man 
That I might be or was 

When the hangover strikes 
And a mirror reveals 
That it's Midnight or bust 
And a drink does appeal 

Now the battle is won 
So the cure of the can 
Pours its heart out on me 
Though I'm feeling locked up 

But I can't find the key 
Well no damage was done 

Poor poor poor, poor shaken one 
Pour pour pour, pour me another one
