With a broken nose, and a broken heart
He knew things went wrong, right from the start
from the day he was born, he didn't have much
but it didn't keep him down, he would always be around
with a fiver in his pocket, he's ready for a pint
he's gonna have a good time tonight, don't care if he has a fight
[chorus:]
fiver in his pocket
he's going out tonight
a fiver in his pocket
he's having a good time
as the years go by, he'll hold his head up high
he will not dwell on the bad times in life
shamos will look at you and tell you, that's the way life goes
so listen to this Irishman, he's someone that knows
[chorus:]
fiver in his pocket
he's going out tonight
a fiver in his pocket
he's having a good time
he's just one of the boys, some things never change
he's just one of the boys, the song remains the same
he's just one of the boys, some things never change
he's just one of the boys, the song remains the same
when he walks to the pub, everyone says hey
he's somewhat of a legend in his own fuckin' way
been down around this town for so many god damn years
and all he has to say is, "lets go get some beers"
[chorus:]
fiver in his pocket
he's going out tonight
a fiver in his pocket
he's having a good time
