[Verse]
GLooking like another Bob DMarley day
CHitting from the bong like a Cdiesel tDrain

DWe got weGeds in the back yard D4 feet tall
CCheech and Chong probably would have Csmoked them Dall

GBeer bottles laying on the Dkitchen floor
If we Ctake 'em all back we can Cbuy some Dmore
So I dGoubt we'll go withDout this afternoon COh!D  
[Pre-Chorus]
CBetter hang on if you're Dtagging along
Cause Gwe'll be doing this till Em6 in the morning
CNothing wrong with going aGll night long
Tough to pDut the brakes on doesn't matter when you got to
[Chorus]
Get Emup, go Dout
GMe and all my fCriends
We'll drink Emup, Dfall down
Then we'll dGo it all agCain
Just sitting Garound, hanging oDut this afternoon C  C  D

The lGandlord says I should Dbuy a tent
But he can kCiss my ass cause I Cpaid my Drent
So I dGoubt, he'll kick me oDut this afternoon C  C  D  
GDown on the corner in a Dseedy bar
CJukebox cranking out the CCCRD  
Had a fGew, to Suzy DQ, this afternoon C  C  D

[Bridge]
Don't want a Cwristwatch, or aDlarm clock to sGee what G/Btime it iCs
From the Cmoment I wake Dup, I just love bGeing G/Bwith my frieCnds
We barely Cget by, but have the bDest times and Ghope it G/Bnever Cends
We Cdrink all day until Dwe fall down, so we can Gdo it G/Ball agaCin
N.C.
It's not the human walk, it's the human race
N.C.
If we were living on the edge taking too much space
So I dGoubt I'll figure oDut just what to do C  C  
'Bout to kDicking aroGund hanging ouDt this afternoon C  C  D  
[Pre-Chorus]
CBetter hang on if you're Dtagging along
Cause Gwe'll be doing this till Em6 in the morning
CNothing wrong with going aGll night long
Tough to pDut the brakes on doesn't matter when you got to
[Chorus]
Get Emup, go Dout
GMe and all my fCriends
We'll drink Emup, Dfall down
Then we'll dGo it all agCain
Yeah we get Emup, go Dout
GMe and all my fCriends
We'll drink Emup, we Dfall down
Then we'll dGo it G/Ball agCain
