Since the decree was rescinded, the lock undone,
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Since the decree was rescinded, the lock undone,
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.

The hidden sips, a different kind of glee,
The furtive life, a different ecstasy.
Those days of dark, where shadows played their part,
In black market deals, we'd trade our heart.
In baskets veiled, a secret we would keep,
A bottle nestled, secrets buried deep.
The taverns now stand open, wide and free,
But all the joy has ebbed into the sea.
The basket shattered, broken on the ground,
The bottle smashed, no solace to be found.
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Oh, believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Since the decree was rescinded, the lock undone,
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Oh, believe it or not, our drinking's done.

In private clubs, Miss Rosie poured with grace,
"Hello handsome, welcome to this place!"
"Hello handsome, welcome to this place!"
In private clubs, Miss Rosie poured with grace,
She'd whistle tunes, and sing a song's embrace.
Come on boys, come on,
Come on boys, come on,
Now Munne's mother pours a single glass,
Now Munne's mother, the moments quickly pass,
She sits and shares a sorrowful tale, alas.
Life turned to ash, a burning, bitter sting,
Drinking forbidden, with nothing left to sing.
The rising tide, the growing, heady wine,
Oh, the rising tide,
The wife, she broke the leg of intoxication divine.
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Oh, believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Since the decree was rescinded, the lock undone,
Believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Oh, believe it or not, our drinking's done.
Done, done.
