Working for a living sucks. Being taken advantage of by the man. Taxes, wars, killing. Got to get away!

Verse 1

Friends for sure yes friends galore
Down on that tropic isle
Don't get stranded you'll be abandoned
In the northern mercantile
When the job gets rough and you've had enough
Look at your boss and smile
And tell him you're going down to Normans
just to hang out for a while.

Verse 2

You must do this, you must do that
The northern culture says
We must play songs but they must be wrong
cause Bob Seeger is not the best
They bend you down and spin you around
And then they want you to smile
tell him you're going down to Normans
just to hang out for a while.

Bridge

Going down to Normans going to have some fun
MacDuffs Revenge with some extra rum
Going down to Normans just to clear my mind
Spend some time in the warm sunshine

Verse 3

We'll write them long
We'll write them short
We'll write them how we want
Don't need a crowd of hangers on
Don't want no debutantes
Just pen and pad and our guitars
Is really just our style
Going down to Normans and write some songs for a while
