Lyrics
DRUNK AGAIN
recorded by The Acme Boogie Company

Been working all week just to pay the rent,
Come Friday night, all my money's spent,
Give me a woman who'll give it up for free.
I got a drinkin' problem and my old lady nags,
She don't like it when I come home half in a bag,
I don't know, seems alright by me.
Drunk again, that what she'll say, but I really don't care much anyway,
Give me a drink, make it something strong.
Three A.M. and it's getting late, my eyes are all red and I can't walk straight.
But I'll be alright if I could just get home.
Come on , baby, don'tcha be that way,
You said the same thing to me yesterday,
Now I know why I can't go home.
You locked the door and you shut the light,
And when I get inside, it's gonna be a fight,
This time, in the morning, I'll be gone.
Drunk again, that what she'll say, but I really don't care much anyway,
Give me a drink, make it something strong.
Three A.M. and it's getting late, my eyes are all red and I can't walk straight.
But I'll be alright if I could just get home.
What's up with this? All the clothes are gone,
Well she packed her bags and she went on home,
I really should just sit down here and think,
But I'll drop a dime and I'll call her up,
Tell I'm sorry and all that stuff,
What I really need right now is one more drink.
Drunk again, that what she'll say, but I really don't care much anyway,
Give me a drink, make it something strong.
Three A.M. and it's getting late, my eyes are all red and I can't walk straight.
But I'll be alright if I could just get home.
