Drank away the rest of the day, wonder what my liver'd say

Drink, that's all you can

Blackened days with their bigger gales blow in your parlor

To discuss the day, listen, that's all you can

Oh, but don't, no don't sink the boat

That you built, you built to keep afloat

Oh-no, don't, don't sink the boat that you built

Sick and tired of what to say, no one listens anyway

Sing, that's all you can

Rambling years of lousy luck, you miss the smell of burning turf

Dream, that's all you can

Oh, but don't, no don't sink the boat

That you built, you built to keep afloat

Oh-no, don't, don't sink the boat that you built

That you built to keep afloat

Singled out for who you are, it takes all types to judge a man

Feel, that's all you can

Filthy suits with bigot ears, hide behind their own worst fears

Live, that's all you can

It's all you can

It's all you can do

No matter where I put my head, I'll wake up feeling sound again

Breathe, that's all you can

Tomorrow smells of less decay, the flowers greet this blooming fray

Be thankful, that's all you can

Oh, but don't, don't sink the boat

That you built, you built to keep afloat

Oh-no, don't, no don't sink the boat that you built

You built to keep afloat

Oh-no, don't, don't sink the boat, oh, that you built

That you built to keep afloat

A ripe old age, a ripe old age, I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am

I'm a ripe old age, a ripe old age, a ripe old age, just doin'

The best I can

Hey

A ripe old age, a ripe old age, a ripe old age, that's what I am

A ripe old age, a ripe old age, a ripe old age, just doin'

The best I can

Hey
