Have you ever seen such a pitiful sight?
Hiding Vodka in his desk drawer? That's not so bright.
He gets bombed and goes on sales calls
No, no no
Everyone here's talking 'bout him
We think we'll do fine without him

Hey now, hey now
This is why drunks are laid off
Hey now, hey now
This is why drunks are laid off
He is chug-a-lugging Bass
He'll get thrown out on his ass
This is why drunks are laid off

Tries to mask the alcohol that's on his breath
Curses out his co-workers and looks close to death
Kind of dizzy in the hallway,
He throws up
This is not a mystery
"Pack your desk, dude. You're history."

Hey now, hey now
This is why drunks are laid off
Hey now, hey now
This is why drunks are laid off
He was chug-a-lugging Bass
Now he's thrown out on his ass
This is why drunks are laid off

Can't open his eyes
(This is why drunks are laid off)
Impaired, he tries
(This is why drunks are laid off)
He says,
"No, I'm in control"
As he walks into a wall
This is why drunks
Drunks
This is why drunks
Are laid off
