Lyrics:
Boy, you oughta listen to your old Pappy (Y-yes, Pappy) And stop drinking so much (Well I-I ain't doing so much drinking-) Shut up boy You drink all day and you drink all night And son you know that that ain't right (Oh well Pappy, you just give me a chance, I can-) Shut up, boy Boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig (I know that) Look like your dear old Pappy, you're 'bout to blow your wig (I ain't gonna blow my wig, Pappy) What's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again Ol' Sam done something fine When he brought back good whiskey, beer and wine I love my whiskey and I love my gin Every time you see me I'm in my sin What's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again I went out last night 'bout half past one I thought I'd hoop it up a little bit, y'know, and have a little fun I got me a half a pint, 'bout half past two Mmm-mmm-mmm The way I was feeling, you know what I wanted to do I got me a pint, 'bout half past four Felt so good 'til I went out and got me some more I got me a quart 'bout half past five Mmm-mmm-mmm Boy, that was so nice I didn't know whether I was dead or alive So what's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again I've been thinkin' But I keep drinkin' I guess I'm 'bout to lose my mind
