The Drink
Oh the drinks I can drink
When I start drinking drinks
I’ll down more than a few
Liquor all in a shot
If I like it or not
I’ll just try not to spew
Love a rum and coke mix
For my alcohol fix
I’ve got nothing to lose
Oh the drinks I can drink
When I start drinking booze
Oh the drinks I can drink
The glasses go clinkety clink
Was that two, three, or four?
Jello shots in a row
Maybe I should say, “No.”
Too bad I don’t care anymore
Some say I’m drowning my pain
In this death made from grain
Maybe there’s something to lose
Oh the drinks I can drink
Why am I drinking this booze?
Oh the drinks I can drink
In the kitchen down the sink
Is where I think they should go
Throw every bottle away
I’m gonna start this today
This is not just for show
I stand up and I yelp
I need some actual help
This is the choice that I choose
No more drinks will I drink
I am giving up booze
