MY BREECHES HAVE ITCHES ( two drunken songs)

The bubbles of my troubles 

they're not silver 

they're now black

as the water in my wine

has weakened my blood

and the flood of new tears

has enhanced all my fears

'cos she's back.

 

That witch in disguise

with those wonderful eyes

that seduce,

a Medusa, 

she'll grip my agenda,

I'll undo her suspender.

we go at it hammer and thongs,

all the bats in my belfry fly out,

and she leaves with a saucy big pout

saying "I'll be back soon 

so don't run the saloon

I'll return next to burn off your pants,

take your money my honey, 

my honey bunny." 

 

but she's all made of mean

and I'm now so obscene

that my friends pass me by

in the street,

I'm a rag of society,

a freak.

 

 

 

 

Oh my breeches have itches

when I'm in the discotec

witches and stitches go pop

as I hop up and down

while the lights go around

and I'm fizzy and fuzzy

my mind in a tank of warm beer

feeling slowly more queer

yes more queer

 

Zing bang boom boom

the ceilings the floor

the shape of the room 

is a shape no more

just a bubble of trouble in store

oh 'god' what a wiggle 

that girl in the middle 

is doing I'd better sit down 

or I'll find going round's my undoing

yes whisky so frisky my brain needs a whisky

and BANG!

I'll get up when I can 

if I can

zzzzzzzzzzz!

I don't Anna

I haven't even.............ever been drunk! No drugs save the odd aspirin for a headache, one chap tried ever so hard to get me drunk, but I stayed sober, he was not happy, I wasn't wishing to...with him. I am however drunk on life itself and when dancing people have thought I must be drunk, so into the dance, I love that too. My ancestors made up for it perhaps and I still have their residue in my blood, you think? There's a rum looking Moses who looks a little red at the gills( even in b&w, a big cabbagy face, sitting there in his wig and knickerbockers, velvet jacket and a pint on the table beside him, he is highly likely to be the candidate for such genes passed on to me. So I must have been born this drunk!! Wassail, viva Bacchus viva Bacchus!! Shall we have a drink Anna? I like red wine unless the white is of very high quality. Or after supper the Khalua with some cream balanced atop is okay. Then a good black coffee too. Oh we must have a whole meal together yes, when I come over to the States, but then you all live so far apart. Sigh! Ann loves you.

And Anna loves Ann. I have

And Anna loves Ann. I have never been drunk either. Though I've been sick like a dog from drinking Black Russians and eating anchovy canapes years ago, after work on an empty stomach. I've been high on life for a long long time even as I suffer its slings and arrows. Wish we could all say Skoal and have a group hug.. ;-)

What the hell are you on woman, Lol.

I want some. This would go well at the Irish pub I went to on Sunday, in song of course, yes, yes, yes, my first smile, laugh, for the day. This was so bubbly and fun. Well done, I love it. Lyz. XX Ah, just what the Dr. ordered, a sweet Ann and her jovial medicine. He, he, he.
