Lyrics
The bridegroom celebrates totally unaware
The bridegroom is joyfully celebrating, oblivious to the situation.
His young bride waits for him in the honeymoon suite upstairs
His young bride is waiting for him in the honeymoon suite upstairs.
One drink leads to another or so he now recalls
Due to drinking, he struggles to remember the events, including cheers.
Shouts of three cheers but he didn't hear them all
Despite shouts of cheers, he didn't hear them all, indicating his drunken state.
Funny how things look with a glass in your hand
Under the influence, things appear differently, leading to confusion.
You're the only one laughing but you can't understand
The person is laughing, yet they can't comprehend why, highlighting the disconnect.
He tried to leave but he couldn't find the door
Attempting to leave the situation but facing difficulty finding the exit.
Ended up crawling looking for a hole in the floor
Resorting to crawling, desperate to escape, looking for an imaginary hole.
Tonight we' ill drink to were satisfied
Celebrating satisfaction tonight through drinking.
Tomorrow we' ill pay the price
Aware of the consequences, they'll pay the price tomorrow.
For being in fools paradise
Reflecting on being in a state of foolish bliss or delusion.
For being in fools paradise
Reiteration of the theme of being in a fool's paradise.
Billy's still bragging about his thousand love affairs
Billy boasts about numerous love affairs, possibly exaggerated or fabricated.
Jimmy's complaining about his taxi fare share

Terrys telling tales just to keep those girls amused
Terry tells entertaining stories to keep the atmosphere lively.
Finally Harry buys a drink so no one's refused
Harry buys a drink to ensure everyone is included, avoiding refusal.
Funny how we see ourselves in a certain sort of light
People perceive themselves positively until others' opinions bring surprise.
How other people see us causes the surprise
External perspectives cause a shift in how individuals view themselves.
Those come on looks turn to disgust
Come-on looks turn into disgust, indicating a change in social dynamics.
I guess that's when we know we've drank too much
Recognition that excessive drinking leads to a point of realization.
Tonight we' ill drink to were satisfied
Celebrating satisfaction tonight through drinking, repeating the theme.

Aware of the consequences, they'll pay the price tomorrow, echoing earlier lines.
