Drinking in the day Just like my daddy did Before me Yesterday Drinking in the day just like my daddy done Before me Oooh the shame
"No body loves me, I'm not long for this world, I'm gonna become a monk" That was his drunken mantra As to the couch he slunk
My mother would tut her distaste and say "Jimmy not in front of the kids!" But he'd just laugh Roll round on the floor and say "Sandra **** those kids!"
Then we'd drag him off to bed My brother/my sister and me To get the fat ****** up the stairs You know it took all three
The sot The lush The drunken old louse And that was Friday night in my father's house.
