Label On the Bottle
The Rocketz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day is finally done and it's time to have fun
I pick up me mates at the local 5 in 1
I'm tired it's true, I've worked the whole day through
But life's too short to come home to me brew!

The sun goes down and the town goes bright,
We'll get together and sing "ALL RIGHT!
" We'll order up a round of pints and sing all through the night!

We raise our glass to cheer! We raise the ice cold beer!
We're drinking at full throttle,
Til we can't read the label on the bottle!

In comes Danne O'Doule and his Northern Irish crew
He's tall, mean, angry and a wee bit thirsty too!
As he walks up to the bar and I'm ready for the fight
He slaps me on the bum and he orders me a pint!

The sun goes down and the town goes bright,
We'll get together and sing "ALL RIGHT!
" We'll order up a round of pints and sing all through the night!

We raise our glass to cheer! We raise the ice cold beer!




We're drinking at full throttle,
Til we can't read the label on the bottle!

Overall Meaning

The Rocketz's song "Label on the Bottle" talks about the importance of having a good time and letting loose after a long day of work. The singer, who has been working all day, meets with his friends at a local bar where they order pints and sing through the night. The chorus refers to the escalating consumption of alcohol, where the drinkers keep drinking until the label on the bottle becomes unreadable. The lyrics also mention a new friend, Danne O'Doule, who joins the group and buys a round of pints.


The upbeat and easy-to-follow rhythm of this rockabilly song complements the theme of the lyrics, which is taking time to unwind and loosen up, especially after a grueling day. The song is nostalgic and reminiscent of a time when many people would finish work and head to the bar to meet with friends and sing and dance the night away. The lyrics capture the spirit of camaraderie and friendship that can be found in a local bar, where people of all backgrounds come together to have a good time.

i was in this video, that my slow motion shot at 2:44 the bottle said "killing rock" all the bottles didnt say the real label, when i poured my share into Andy's mug, my bottle said "killer" instead of miller, the names were clever, and the video was alot of fun to shoot. thanks Angie and Tony!
