Food, glorious food!  
Hot sausage and mustard!  
While we’re in the mood –  
Cold jelly and custard!  
Pease pudding and saveloy!  
What next is the question?  
Rich gentlemen have it, boys –  
In-di-gestion!

Mai Tai say that I’m old fashioned  
Tres vin ordinaire  
That I want a fresh Manhattan  
With white Anglo Saxons everywhere  
A Black Russian’s not your lady  
Give her the Singapore Sling  
A Moscow Mule is not your baby  
So highball the vodka and name your sting

I get drunk most every night  
Seems like all we do is fight  
the more I drink, the less that I feel blue

Sometimes I feel like an awful fool  
Wasting my life on this old barstool  
And yes I guess they oughtta name a drink after you

Buy me a beer, two bucks a glass  
Come on, help me; I’m freezing my ass  
Buy me a brandy, a snifter of wine…  
Who am I kidding? I’ll drink turpentine

Turn to the bottle  
Soon the pain will ease  
I’ve got a story that will  
bring you to your knees  
It’s called, The Story Of The Blues

I guess that’s why they call it the blues  
Time on my hands could be time spent with you  
Laughing like children, living like lovers  
Rolling like thunder, under the covers

The thunder rolls  
And the lightnin’ strikes  
Another love grows cold  
On a sleepless night  
As the storm blows on  
Out of control  
Deep in her heart  
The thunder rolls

He always runs while others walk.  
He acts while other men just talk.  
He looks at this world, and wants it all,  
So he strikes, like Thunderball.

But darling be home soon  
I couldn’t bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled  
My darling be home soon  
It’s not just these few hours but I’ve been waiting since I toddled  
For the great relief of having you to talk to

I’m going to ride this plane out of your life again.  
I wish that I could stay but you argue.  
More than this I wish you could’ve seen my face  
In backseat staring out the window.

I’ll do anything for you,  
Kill anyone for you.

So leave yourself intact  
'Cause I will be coming back.  
In a phrase to cut these lips,  
I love you.

I’m not the only soul who’s been accused of hit and run
