What's the use of getting sober 
When you're gonna get [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] again 

Well I've been thinking 
But I keep drinking 
I guess I'm 'bout lose my mind
