[Chorus:] Here come the elephants two by two Pink little pachyderms following you It's about time you start thinking About giving up all your drinking I did, I did You gave up drinking No, but I thought about it Aaaaaawwwww Aawww you all go away and leave me alone Everybody's trying to get me to quit drinking My wife says the only reason she didn't get me A birthday present is 'cause she don't know how To gift-wrap a saloon And my doctor says if I don't quit drinking It's gonna kill me But I know a whole lot more old drunks than I Do old doctors Even the Red Cross has been bugging me They turned down my blood donation cause They said they found an olive in it Well if they didn't put olives in them drinks I'd starve to death My wife says I'm spoilin' my health drinking To everybody else's, but I'm not I'm slipping vitamins in my gin so I can build Myself up while I'm tearing myself down An my mother-in-law, who is the head of the NBC That's the Naggin' Brat Committee She says I'm a hard drinker but I'm not, Shoot Drinkin's the easiest thing I've ever done in my life The only time I ever had a hard time drinking Was last year on the ocean voyage The sea got so rough one night they had to Lash me to the bar [Chorus] Well I may have to give it up if I can't get a Better job Do you realize the cost of living is up 27 cents a fifth Well I oughtta be able to do better in employment Because I graduated from college Magna Cum Loaded Speakin' a being loaded I've been here in this same bar drinking all day long Hey bartender, yup What time is it, It's 1 minute after 12 midnight After midnight, aay Welp bottoms up First one today [Chorus]
