My dad already gave me many a good tip
Like: 'My boy, never give up
Do a good deed now and then
Trust yourself and make yourself a home'
Be kind to the ladies and don't catch anything
And party into the night now and then
Make mistakes if you want and learn from them every day
But let one thing be said
Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the bar
No matter how pretty she is
No matter how thirsty you are
It's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Kid, one thing must be said
Never, never, never fall in love with the girl behind the bar'
That's what my dad once said and it hit me
When I went to my first pub
I hung on her lips and the tap
How she poured the beer from the keg into my cup
That was pure beauty and I decided
Nowhere in the world could it be nicer
And too late I remembered
'Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the bar
No matter how pretty she is
No matter how thirsty you are
It's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Kid, one thing must be said
Never, never, never fall in love with the girl behind the bar'
Since then it's happened to me a thousand times
I got turned down and she took my cash
And if I ever have a boy and I'm a dad myself
I'll drum into him
'Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the counter
Never, never, never, never ever fall in love
With the girl behind the bar
No matter how pretty she is
No matter how thirsty you are
It's her job to like you
Even if she buys you a drink, she goes home alone
Kid, one thing must be said
Never, never, never fall in love with the girl
Never, never, never fall in love with the girl behind the bar'
