Lyrics

DV = deep voice, SV = squeaky voice
 DV: Boy, you listen to your old Pappy
 SV: Yeah, Pappy
 DV: And stop drinking so much
 SV: I'm-I'm ain't been doing so much drinking, Pappy
 DV: Shut up, boy! You drink all day and you drink all night and you know, son, that that ain't right
 SV: Oh Pappy, you just give me a chance. I, I can, I . . .
 DV: Shut up, boy! Boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig
 SV: I know that . . .
 DV: Look likes your dear old Pappy - about to blow your wig
 SV: Oh I'm gonna blow my wig, Pappy
 What's the use of getting sober
 When you're gonna get drunk again
 Oh Sam done something fine
 When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
 I love my whiskey and I love my gin
 Every time you see me I'm in my sin
 So what's the use of getting sober
 When you're gonna get drunk again
 I went out last night about half past one
 Thought I'd whoop it up a little and have some fun
 I got me a half pint about half past two
 Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do
 Got me a pint about half past four
 Felt so good, went out and got me some more
 Got me a quart about half past five
 Boy, that was so nice didn't know if I was dead or alive
 So what's the use of getting sober If you're gonna get drunk again
 Oh Sam done something fine
 When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
 I love my whiskey and I love my gin
 Every time you see me I'm in my sin
 So what's the use of getting sober
 When you're gonna get drunk again
 Well I've been thinking
 But I keep drinking
 I guess I'm 'bout lose my mind
