[Verse 1] Five coins left inside my pocket, Rain was falling on the street, Landlord knocking at the doorway, Hunger dragging at my feet. But I heard the music calling, From a doorway shining bright, So I spent my last few pennies, On a pint and one more night. [Chorus] Five coins left! Five coins left! That's all I've got today! Raise your glass and sing it louder, We'll worry tomorrow anyway! Five coins left! Five coins left! And a hundred friends in sight! If we're broke, we're broke together, So pour another one tonight! [Verse 2] Johnny lost another paycheck, Mary lost another man, Tommy swore he'd quit the drinking, Same as every Friday can. But the fiddle started screaming, And the whole room found its voice, When you've got five coins remaining, Singing loud is still a choice. [Chorus] Five coins left! Five coins left! That's all I've got today! Raise your glass and sing it louder, We'll worry tomorrow anyway! Five coins left! Five coins left! And a hundred friends in sight! If we're broke, we're broke together, So pour another one tonight! [Bridge] Maybe we're the lucky ones, Though our pockets might be bare, 'Cause a rich man drinks his whiskey, But he can't buy friends in there. [Breakdown] HEY! Five coins! HEY! Still alive! HEY! One more song before we go! [Final Chorus] Five coins left! Five coins left! That's all I've got today! Raise your glass and sing it louder, We'll worry tomorrow anyway! Five coins left! Five coins left! And the whole damn pub's in flight! If we're broke, we're broke together, So pour another one tonight! [Outro] Five coins left inside my pocket, Not a penny more in sight, But I've got songs, I've got brothers, And that's enough for one more night.
