lyrics

Life on the Booze

I saw Paddy today
And how he was bragging
Swearing about how he’s on the wagon
It’s enough to make
A grown man cringe
When you’re waiting for
Your next last binge
➖
Chorus
Hey
This time it’s true
I’ve had enough drink
To sink this, ship and its crew
I’m capsized I’m drowning
Down here in this brew
There’s a price that you pay
Living life on the booze
➖
I saw Paddy today
And he wasn’t drinking
Swearing about his new way of thinking
It's enough to make
A grown man cry
As he shoots back a shot
With guilt in his eyes
➖
Chorus
➖
I saw Paddy today
And he wasn’t on the lash
He swore never again
To drink one little splash
But before I congratulate him on the task
He leans back and takes a big swig from his flask
➖
Chorus
➖
I saw Paddy today
He wasn’t in the cups
Swearing how he
Never touches the stuff
But before I could say
Good job there old man
He took out his knife
And he shot gunned a can
➖
Chorus
➖
Outro
I saw Paddy today
And he wasn’t bragging
Taken away in the Paddy Wagon
➖
You're under arrest!
