oscar brown jr. - somebody buy me a drink lyrics
the other night, i was on skid row
by a liquor store sign’s garrish glow;
i saw a fellow i used to know a long, long time ago
he stood with the lost, with the living dead
with rumpled clothes and a reeling head
reviewing the wasted life he’d lead, and as i p-ssed he said
“let me tell you a story that’s sad but true
about someone who just may remind you of you
let me tell you a tale that may help you awake a woozy head –
somebody buy me a drink
“it begins long ago on a happy day
with a fool who was loved, but threw it all away
who exchanged a good home for a flophouse, a bar and a plank –
somebody buy me a drink
(bridge:)
“well, to see me today, when i have hit the skids
who would think i once had a fine wife and kids?
yes, i was that fool, after treasure and pleasure
and love was just a game played with some other dame
“now there’s only one thing i feel certain of:
the only true treasure in life is love
without someone to love and love you, see how low you can sink?
somebody buy me a drink
somebody, somebody, buy me a drink.”
