Verse 1:
Hey mister, where are you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour,
say oh no!
Do you break for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Verse 2:
Cold turkeys gettin stale.
Tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella,
poison oak, no!
There's a drought at The Fountain of Youth,
And now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue in swelling up- I say
1,2. 1,2,3,4!
