ADrunk men stagger, dAsus4runk men fall
ADrunk men swear &amAsus4p; that's not all
C#mQuite often drunks will urinate ouAtdoors
ALike widowed women dAsus4runk men weep
ALike children curled up Asus4drunk men sleep
C#mLike a dog a drunk will crawl about on all Afours
DBe it broke bum or rich rake
His dDminner be it bread or cake
His bevD/Gerage be the worst of whiskey, finest wine
APuke it stinks &amAsus4p; so it seems
AA drunkard goes to Asus4great extremes
C#mBut there has yet to be a perfectly straight Aline
Drunks are strong & drunks are weak
It's easy for a drunk to speak
Straight from the heart
Drunks will fight, their not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress & make the maid
Oh, but it's a manly art
But it takes it toll on blood vessels & from there it will raise
Bags beneath the eyes & other signs
Drunks get ugly so it seems & drunks will 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 drunk men drink they thirst they thirst for drink
Their elephants are grey not pink
When the drink evaporates the man is gone, gone, gone
Back to the flats & the subway cars
To the hipflasks & the fruit jars
Flat on thier face & flat on their backs
Drunks get drunk & so it seems
That drunks will go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
