The Lyrics
Glass ready to go. . .
Ain’t a one-snort sort o’ day.
Oh I’m feeling low;
Laughter’s far away.
Well stuff’s what I drink. . .
Ain’t spirits delight,
But drunkenness is what I seek—
At least it gets me tight. So. . .
Gin in well, gin in well
Is not Tanqueray.
Oh what junk this is to bibe;
It’s distilled in San Jose-e.
Gin in well, gin in well
Is not Tanqueray.
Oh what junk this is to bibe. . .
I mean the one in C-A.
A shot or two ago
I started getting high,
Sat on my fanny, right
By Joe, also pie-eyed.
The snorts were green and rank;
I had another shot.
I will end up in the drunk tank
Just as likely as not.
No! Prison hell, prison hell
Would keep me away
From the fun of having bibes
In a glum dry-out-tank way-ay.
Pris’nors held, pris’nors held
In a cell all day
Must pay their jailors big bribes
To smuggle in Tanqueray.
Ain’t a one-snort sort o’ day.
Oh I’m feeling low;
Laughter’s far away.
Well stuff’s what I drink. . .
Ain’t spirits delight,
But drunkenness is what I seek—
At least it gets me tight. So. . .
Gin in well, gin in well
Is not Tanqueray.
Oh what junk this is to bibe;
It’s distilled in San Jose-e.
Gin in well, gin in well
Is not Tanqueray.
Oh what junk this is to bibe. . .
I mean the one in C-A.
A shot or two ago
I started getting high,
Sat on my fanny, right
By Joe, also pie-eyed.
The snorts were green and rank;
I had another shot.
I will end up in the drunk tank
Just as likely as not.
No! Prison hell, prison hell
Would keep me away
From the fun of having bibes
In a glum dry-out-tank way-ay.
Pris’nors held, pris’nors held
In a cell all day
Must pay their jailors big bribes
To smuggle in Tanqueray.
