Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Drunk men stagger, drunk men fall
Drunk men swear, and that's not all
Quite often they will urinate outdoors
[Verse 2]
Like widowed women, drunk men weep
Like children curled up, drunk men sleep
Like a dog, a drunk will crawl around on all fours
[Verse 3]
Be he broke bum or rich rake
His dinner, be it bread or cake
His beverage be the worst of whiskey, finest wine
[Verse 4]
Puke, it stinks and so it seems
That drunkards go to great extremes
There is yet to be a perfectly straight line
[Verse 5]
Drunks talk strong when drunks are weak
It's easy for a drunk to speak
Straight from the heart
[Verse 6]
Yeah, drunks will fight, they're not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress and make the maid
It's a manly art
[Verse 7]
Oh, but the drink a toll will take
Blood vessels in the nose will break
Bags beneath the eyes, another sign
[Verse 8]
Drunks get ugly, so it seems
That drunkards go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
[Verse 9]
Drunks are friendly when they're drunk
And drunks are hostile when they're drunk
Which drunk it is, it all depends upon
[Verse 10]
When drunks aren't drunk, they thirst for drink
And the elephants are gray, not pink
And the drink evaporates, the man is gone, gone, gone, gone
[Verse 11]
Back to the yachts and the subway cars
To the hip flasks and the fruit jars
Flat on the face and flat on the behind
[Verse 12]
Oh, drunks get drunk and so it seems
That drunkards go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
[Verse 13]
Straight line
Straight line
