The Lyrics
This was my improv song at last night's karaoke...NOT what actually happened. The locations are in Northern Kentucky, but other cities can be substituted. ;D
By the time I get to Cold Spring I'll be weaving.
When I left the tavern I thought I was doing fine.
But it was only me I was deceiving
As I snake across that double yellow line.
By the time I hit Fort Thomas, I'll be busted.
I'll get pulled over by the hidden local cops.
My eyes and walking will be maladjusted
'Cause earlier I threw down thirteen schnapps.
By the time I get to Newport, I'll be handcuffed.
My wife will find out and skin me alive.
My message to you I can't re-peat e-nough.
For this once I'm not handing you some jive.
If you would survive -
Never drink and drive
Coming next: Brian Setzer's "Drunk, Drive, and Bail". ;D

Great job here, OMR. 5s.
Great one, Ribber. here's some sobering fives...
Maybe, instead of driving..you should've rode your Campbell thru the glen..your subs fit very well
Good message, good parody.
Funny parody to that dreary old song. Have you been listening to the Happy Schnapps Combo?
A truly MADD parody. Did the cops demand ID? Oh, I forgot; it was Newport not Phoenix! 3fifths4u.
