the willis brothers – ain’t it funny (what a little drink can do) lyrics

[chorus]
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
makes you wanna laugh when you’re blue
you can do the things you always wanted to
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?

[verse 1]
the time had come when the drunkard had
at last, found himself at the end of his rope, just a bum
this time, when he came to, he was in the city dump
he then thought of all of the shame and the grief that he had caused his loved ones
so, finding an old stub of a pencil and a piece of paper, he began to write
“dear dad, this is the end
i have sunk as low as a man can sink
i have lost all that i have ever owned
my friends, my wealth and my health.”
he then noticed, in the trash and garbage
a half+filled bottle of wine, which he drank
then, he finished the letter to his father
“and pop, if there’s anything i can ever do for you
just let me know”

[chorus]
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
makes you wanna laugh when you’re blue
you can do the things you always wanted to
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
[verse 2]
the folks in a small town had decided to scare the town drunk
so that he would never take another drink
so they hauled him out to the cemetery
while he was still under the influence of his latest binge
and placed him into an open grave
they awaited for morning to come
when they knew that he would wake up
and, finding where he was, perhaps that would scare him
and he would never ever take another drink
as the sun came up, they heard a groan
then he poked his head out of the grave
he gazed around with his bloodshot eyes at the tombstones surrounding him
they heard him say, “glory be! here it is, [???] dead
and i’m the first man up!”
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?

[chorus]
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
makes you wanna laugh when you’re blue
you can do the things you always wanted to
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?

[verse 3]
one night, a policeman came up on a drunk
who was hanging on to the lamppost and was gazing at the reflection of the moon
in a puddle of water on the street
the drunk asked the policeman, said, “say, what is that down there?”
to which the policeman replied and said, “why, that’s the moon”
the drunk remarked, “that’s the moon way down there?”
and the cop replied, “yep!”
to which the drunk said, “man, i’ve been high before, but this is ridiculous!”
[chorus]
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
makes you wanna laugh when you’re blue
you can do the things you always wanted to
ain’t it funny what a little drink can do?
