Lyrics
Working Man's Café cover

Is there life after breakfast

Ray Davies, released on Other People's Lives (solo) © Davray Music Ltd. 2006

.

Lift yourself out of the doldrums

Make yourself a cuppa tea

Drag your emotions out of the gutter

Don't wallow in self pity

.

When you wake up, all of a fluster

Thinking life has passed you by

Give yourself a kick up the backside

Jump out of bed and punch the sky

.

Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't live in agony

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

.

Cheer up some, put on the kettle

There's no point in being down[?]

Make your mind up, try to forget her

Boil the tea and I'll be [?]

.

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't live in agony

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

.

After breakfast

Life after breakfast

After breakfast

.

Just because all of the plumbing

Isn't all it used to be

Turn the tap, see, a little bit's coming

That must make you feel relieved

.

Don't turn into a total embarrassment

To your friends and family

Get out of bed, the whole day's ahead

So take the pills and drink your tea

.

Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

So don't be so depressive

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

.

Is there life after breakfast

Full of possibilities

Is there life after breakfast?

Yes there is, after breakfast

Is there life after breakfast?

Is there life after breakfast?

.

Put the kettle on, mate

.
