Royal In The Afternoon Lyrics - Whitlams

I won't drink, I won't smoke 

Won't get home at a hundred o'clock 

Nobody goin' to satisfy me 

Except you and the baby and the color TV 

I was always in my prime 

Now I'm falling over the line 

They boys are sad to have to let me go 

But you got it all to get me home 

'Cause you quiet me down 

I been all over the place 

And I ain't found anyone 

Can keep my feet on the ground, no 

We can be bigger than my old habits 

Over my dead body but still 

If I am awake in the morning 

We'll be royal in the afternoon 

You'll be the Queen 

And I'll be the mad king of it all 

The words of a drunk fade with the light 

Satan delivers and the goods are alright 

He's at home now counting the dough 

I'm standing here for another last throw 

We can be bigger than my old habits 

Over my dead body but still 

If I am awake in the morning 

We'll be royal in the afternoon
