Could be wrong about this, but...
"To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains/who dread the thought of goin' 'round the bend..."

A "rounder" is a word (not commonly used) to mean "a dissolute person/a drunkard"; a "heavy rounder" would be a "heavy drinker"; the headache part then becomes obvious. As far as "going 'round the bend", to "go on a bender" is go out on a drunken spree, so "goin' 'round the bend" would be to lose oneself in another night of heavy drinking. Of course, my Ph.D. in literature and I could be mistaken!
