loudon wainwright iii - drinking song (unreleased) lyrics

Loading...

drunk men stagger, drunk men fall
drunk men swear and that’s not all
quite often they will urinate outdoors

like widowed women, drunk men weep
like children curled up, drunk men sleep
like a dog, a drunk will crawl around on all fours

be he broke b-m or rich rake
his dinner be it bread or cake
his beverage be the worse of whiskey, finest wine

puke it stinks and so it seems
that drunkards go to great extremes
but there has yet to be a perfectly straight line

drunks talk strong when drunks are weak
it’s easy for a drunk to speak
straight from the heart

drunks will fight they’re not afraid
they’ll kiss the mistress, make the maid
a manly art

ah but the drink a toll will take
blood vessels in the nose will break
bags beneath the eyes, another sign

drunks get ugly, so it seems
that drunkards go to great extremes
but there has yet to be a perfectly straight line

drunks are friendly when they’re drunk and
drunks are hostile when they’re drunk
which drunk it is, it all depends upon

when drunks aren’t drunk, they thirst for drink
elephants are grey, not pink
the drink evaporates the man is gone

back to the yachts and subway cars
to the hip-flasks and fruit jars
flat on the face, flat on the behind

drunks get drunk and so it seems
that drunkards go to great extremes
but there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
