Ok, girls, whose got the snout? (also alluding to pigs which the girls become as the night progresses, but in contrast to what they call the police, "Pigs")
We're out for the night (eventually unconscious too )
To put it about (STD's)
Full of cheap booze (they're not into good wines)
Free-loaded and ready (A term meaning buying supermarket cheap alcohol and getting as much inside them before leaving home)
We've nothing to lose (No longer virgins)
Get to excess as fast as we can (they are products of modern consumeristic society)
We've all got a date with the enamel pan. (On their knees being sick into toilet bowls which usually have the company's stamp and date of manufacture at the bottom of the bowl)

With our bags full of zips (They've bought handbags [purses in the USA] that are full of many pockets in which to stash weed etc.)
To hide hooch and weed
Keep to the shadows (staying out of the light)
To hide what we need (the bouncers can see if customers are on drugs by looking into their eyes)
from those door-girls who pry
Finding drugs, drink and speed.

Head for the 'Cheap-Hour'
Our 'First drink is Free' (Clubs offer these inducements and cause excessive drinking)
We'll outnumber the guys (Men have to pay to get into the clubs, girls get in for free and are attracted to the free drinks offers. This means that the men carry on drinking cheaper beer in pubs before going on to clubs where drink can sometimes be dearer, but not necessarily)
Who'll be legless by 3. (The men will take several hours to get plastered, whereas the girls get p*ssed as fast as they can)

Get to the queue
Present my I.D.
Open my bag
Get the weed through with me (Hopefully)
Pay the cashier (Cilla Black's job in The Cavern)
Head for the bar
Get hammered real quick (Drunk, injured, or be a victim when very drunk later)
Jar after jar. (Jar is a pint of alcohol, and "jar" is a reference to talking a lot, especially when p*ssed)

The guys are real wusses who pace themselves (The men want to make the night last longer, but the girls want instant gratification)
Unable to match the greed of the girls (More of this attitude to drink, and friendship later)
Club's open till 3
But we'll be long gone
Swaying and dropping (girls will form a congar line when drunk and their friends who can't stand up get left behind)
friends one by one
The boys stick together
But we don't care
Any girlfriend who falls
We'll leave her there. (So much for girl 'friend' British irony here)

The door-staff and coppers
Don't know what to grab (Anyone who touches one of these drunken wenches in the 'wrong' place, will end up in court for sexually molesting her)
When they want to detain us
We're not like the lads (The girls are far more devious and crafty, even when drunk)
Just try to restrain us
And you'll pay the price
Blokes are so easy (Girls know how to fool drunken blokes, which is why I used dad's Little Princess later)
We ain't nice.
They'll throw a punch
We'll hurl a glass (Girls will always grab anything to throw or stab someone. They don't throw punches, but if nothing else is to hand they pull hair and use it like a weapon to spin their victim around)
Whatevers to hand
We won't let it pass (anything to use as that weapon will be used regardless)
Dad's “Little Princess”
Some fella's wife
Don't ever cross us
We ain't nice.

Writing this piece has made me so miserable I'll have to go and have a glass of 20 year old double malt. "I am not young enough to know everything." Oscar Wilde.

Byron wrote: The problem on the streets now is the shear volume of alcohol that is thrown down girls' throats and the speed at which it's done. Binge drinking has become a real problem. Hospital Emergency Rooms are full of young people with alcohol related problems. Doctors are talking of a generation of people who will die before their parents from alcohol related illnesses such as liver failure, heart attacks/disease, organ failure, diabetes, obesity, brain damage, and much more. These young people will be dead by the time they are 50 according to senior medical experts.

but do they really want to be princesses or do they just think they should be princesses.

Nothing at all my dear, purple princesses rule! in fact I’m hoping to attend a palace party next month with many other purple and pink princesses.
it’s just that it’s that the lack of cats and witches on Halloween night is a bit concerning – last year all of the girls in my sons class party were princesses except for one kitty who I’m sure was cursing her parents, but do they really want to be princesses or do they just think they should be princesses.
