Started out, just drinkin' beer
I didn't know how or why or what I was doin' there
Just a couple more, made me feel a little better
Believe me when I tell you, it was nothin' to do with the letter
Ran right out of beer, I took a look into the larder
No bones, nothin', I'd better go and get something harder
Back in a flash, I started on a dash of Jamaica rum
Me and Pat Malone, drinking on our own
Whoa-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-yeah, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Yeah, mm, they're gettin' bigger
Sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals are doin' to my brain
It doesn't worry me enough to stop me from doin' it again
Wiping out brain cells by the million, but I don't care
It doesn't worry me even though I ain't got a lot to spare
Whoa-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-yeah, the nips are gettin' bigger
Whoa-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger
Yeah, they're gettin' bigger
