seas of mirth - bamboozled by booze lyrics

‘twas a dark and stormy night full of sleet, full of snow
and a full house in a cosy tavern in perranuthnoe
there stood barry the bragger, very gallant in the snug
lookin’ all smug whilst a glugging his grog from a gold plated
tankard, cantankerously countering, rambunctiously
rambling tales of his tipples of choice
well it wasn’t too long ‘til this sucker met his match
through the hatch leant a hench traveler
armed with containers that spelt out “messy times”
he asked him, “what really gets your blood pumping, lad”
barry replied, “black seal absinthe? ethanol? ho hum… and i’ve been rarely brought to tears one 1,000% overproof rum”, but the man said…

“i’d keep your stories to yoursеlf you know
and this time listen to your liver
i’vе had these poisons gathered far and wide
so why don’t you just shut your trap
and let your timbers shiver”

well, the drinking rally did commence, a few spectators here and thence
the bets were being placed on who’d remain the standing man
now this traveller it seemed was quite the alchemist of alcohol
a double dozen recipes of shame to his name
he poured the first of which into a respectably sized receptacle
up shot barry’s t+st+cl+s, it was clear that he was skeptical
well, barry tried his very darndest to distract the man, he said to him
“i can down ten gallons of sea+water, just watch me” but then
“balderdash!” the traveller prompted – ‘twas very then that he persuaded
a pint of the mystery recipe down his gullet, like a bullet
he was down in a matter of seconds, and the audience guffawed
at him on the floor – by now the strange man had disappeared
but a voice could be heard saying:

“i’d keep your stories to yourself you know
before you embarrass us all
i’ve been marauding these shores far and wide
but never have i come across an imbecile like you”

bamboozled by booze – you’re not gonna take it
you’re destined to lose your dignity and sea+cred
it’s painfully clear that he’s been sent by the devil
gonna go down, down, down, down
on the floor, get out the door!
bamboozled by booze – you’re not gonna take it
you’re destined to lose your dignity and sea+cred
it’s painfully clear that he’s been sent by the devil
gonna go down, down, down, down, down, down…

you’ve been bamboozled, you’ve been bamboozled
you’ve been bamboozled by booze
don’t get bamboozled, don’t get bamboozled
don’t get bamboozled by booze
oh barry where’s yer reputation now?
there ain’t a lot to brag about
you’re gonna have to find a new profession
that entitles you to be a pompous stuck+up lout

well, eventually he did arise, and this it came as no surprise
that he’d been chucked outside with chronic hangover blues
he checked his pockets good and hard, but only found a calling card
that simply read out: “you’ve been bamboozled by booze”
