(Shel Silverstein)
|
|
On the way to the bottom I met an old friend of mine
|
He said "Buddy, I do believe this is the end of the line"
|
I said "The end of the line? Shoot, come on and have another round
|
And if we're headin' for the bottom we still got a long way down"
|
|
On the way to the bottom we make a lot of stops
|
And we'd meet a lot of fools bustin' their hopes on the way to the top
|
Pass me another bottle and turn down the lights
|
Forget about tomorrow, babe we're gonna rumble tonight
|
I'll wear my low heeled boots you'll wear your taffeta gown
|
And if we're heading for the bottom we'll go laughing all the way down
|
|
On the way to the bottom I met an ol' girl of mine
|
She said "Honey, I'm scared, won't you love me one more time?"
|
I said "One more time? Shoot, about a million more
|
We had a whole lotta loving and a whole lot more in store"
|
|
On the way to the bottom we make a lot of stops
|
And we'd meet a lot of fools bustin' their hopes on the way to the top
|
Pass me another bottle and turn down the lights
|
Forget about tomorrow, babe we're gonna rumble tonight
|
I'll wear my low heeled boots you'll wear your taffeta gown
|
And if we're heading for the bottom we'll go laughing all the way down...
