Overhang

(Well, now. gather 'round now, folks. We'd like to play you a little song. So sit back, grab your favorite guy or gal and y'all join in!....)

"Wellllllllllllllll.....
Wakin' up to the taste of beer,
Reach for my glass so I can see clear."


(Jethro, grab that old whiskey jug and join in)

- Jugband music starts up -

"Ooooooooooo, my head is poundin' a symphony,
Couch pillows on the floor.
I reach for my bottle of sympathy
And catch my shirt tail on the door.

Lookin' down at my day-old clothes,
They looked great on last night.
How I made it home, nobody knows.
I coulda swore my socks were white.

Oh, the aspirin takes forever.
I must have taken nine or ten.
I promise myself never
Will I ever drink again."


(That's right, folks. Keep clappin')

"I was dancin' like Astaire
With Ginger's leaps and bounds.
I was so drunk, I did not care
She weighed three hundred pounds.

I was kissin' porcelain,
My head was wet with sweat.
I wiped the dribble from my chin -
A night I'd just as soon forget.

Oh, the aspirin takes forever.
I must have taken nine or ten.
I promise myself never
Will I ever drink again."


(Slow it down a bit here, Jethro. Slow tempo...)

- Slow strum -

"Oh, I never ever learn my lesson
And I'll probably get into a fight.
There won't be no second guessin'....

....'cause I'll be getting drunk tonight!"


- Resume tempo -

"Oh, the aspirin takes forever.
I must have taken nine or ten.
I promise myself never
Will I ever drink aga-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-ain!"


(Y'all be safe!)
