[Verse 1]
Thought I was lookin' good
So I cycled 'cross the neighbourhood
Was invited by a skinny girl
Into her high-class world
Left my bicycle under the stairs
Laid my coat across the kosher chairs
Made my way across the crowded room
I had nothing to lose
My reception wasn't very keen
So turning on a friendly grin
Stood on the table with my glass of gin
And came straight to the point

[Chorus]
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time

[Verse 2]
Dancing madly 'round the room, yeah
Singing loudly and sorta' out of tune
Was escorted by a friendly slag
'Round the bedroom and back
Wandered across to the door
Missed my step and I fell on the floor
Said one word and was asked to leave
Kinda wish I was dead

[Chorus]
I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time, woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
The skinny girl made it clear
That she only came here for the beer
The vicar simply reeked of gin
On my way home, I happened to fall off my bicycle
(Good party)
Woohoo, haha, yeah
I was glad to come, but I was also glad to get home
Woohoo, woo, yeah
Oh yeah
Ow, ow
