Cos GG#mod loves a dD#mrunk, the lG#mowest of D#mmen Like the dEogs in the sBtreet and the C#pigs in the D#pen And a drEunk's only trying to get fF#mree of his body And soEar like an eagle high F#mup there in Heaven His shEouts and his curses they're F#mjust hymns and praises To kG#mick start his mF#ind now and tEhen O GG#mod loves a drunk, raC#ise up your glasses, aEmmen
Does God really care for your life in the suburbs A dull little life full of dull little things And bring up the babies to be just like daddy And maybe you'll be there when he gives out the wings But God loves a drunk, although he's a fool He wets in his pants and he falls off his stool He can't hear the insults and whispers go by him As he leans in the doorway and he sings Sally Racket He can't feel the cold rain beat down on his body And soak through his clothes to the skin O God loves a drunk, come raise up your glasses, amen Will there be any pen-pushers up there in Heaven' Does crawling and wage-slaving win you God's love I pity you worms with your semis and pensions If you think that'll get you to the kingdom above But God loves a drunk, although he's a clown You can't help but laugh as he gags and falls down He don't give a cuss for what people think of him He screams at his demons alone in the darkness He's staying alive for just one more pint bottle Won't you throw him a few pennies, friend God loves a drunk, for ever and ever, amen (from Rumour and Sigh, 1991) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
