Gather 'round the bar let's have a race

Wanna see how much beer i can pour into my face

Don't stand my up, I'll fall. Lean my up against the wall.

Never touch the demon drink again.

All I'll touch is tea, alcohol destroying me.

Take me out and put me in a taxi.

Tell the driver where to go, 'cause I don't think I'll know.
