|
Well, I've already had two beers
|
I'm ready for the broom
|
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
|
Take me to my room ?
|
I'm a good old boy
|
But I've been sniffin' too many eggs
|
Talkin' to too many people
|
Drinkin' too many kegs
|
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,
|
Please
|
Please, Missus Henry, please
|
I'm down on my knees
|
And I ain't got a dime.
|
|
Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
|
Pretty soon I'll be mad
|
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
|
Take me to your dad ?
|
I can drink like a fish
|
I can crawl like a snake
|
I can bite like a turkey
|
I can slam like a drake
|
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,
|
Please
|
Please, Missus Henry, please
|
I'm down on my knees
|
And I ain't got a dime.
|
|
Now, don't crowd me, lady
|
Or I'll fill up your shoe
|
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy
|
And tonight I am blue
|
I'm a thousand years old
|
And I'm a generous bomb
|
I'm T-boned and punctured
|
But I'm known to be calm
|
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,
|
Please
|
Please, Missus Henry, please
|
I'm down on my knees
|
And I ain't got a dime.
|
Now, I'm startin' to drain
|
My stool's gonna squeak
|
If I walk too much farther
|
My crane's gonna leak
|
Look, Missus Henry
|
There's only so much I can do
|
Why don't you look my way
|
And pump me a few ?
|
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,
|
Please
|
Please, Missus Henry, please
|
I'm down on my knees
|
And I ain't got a dime.
