The Drinking Song Lyrics

drunk men stagger, drunk men fall drunk men swear and that's not all quite often, they will urinate outdoors
like widowed women, drunk men weep like children curled up, drunk men sleep like a dog, a drunk will crawl around on all fours
be he broke bum or rich rake his dinner, be it break or cake his beverage be the worst of whiskey or finest wine
puke, it stinks and so it seems that drunkards go to great extremes but there is yet to be a perfectly straight line
drunks talk strong when drunks are weak it's easy for a drunk to speak straight from the heart drunks will fight, they're not afraid they'll kiss the mistress, make the maid a manly art
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-drinking-song-lyrics-loudon-wainwright-iii.html ] but the drink the toll will take blood vessels in the nose will break bags beneath the eyes — another sign
drunks get ugly so it seems that drunkards go to great extremes but there is yet to be a perfectly straight line
drunks are friendly when they're drunk drunks are hostile when they're drunk which drunk it is it all depends upon
when drunks aren't drunk they thirst for drink elephants are grey not pink the drink evaporates, the man is gone back to the yachts and subway cars to the hip flasks and fruit jars flat on the face, flat on the behind
drunks get drunk and so it seems that drunkards go to great extremes but there is yet to be a perfectly straight line
