On the rocks
Bloody-Mary's with whisky mouths,
toast all-co-hollers, with glass-jaws drooling.
Tanked battalions, drafted on orders,
wined up bitter on the rocks.
Bar-sugars with brown-cow eyes,
watch beer bellied bouncers, with blood-shot fingers,
sling-a-pore-singer, with boozed-breathed ballads.
Phonics and tonics, on the rocks
Stewed-tomatoes flash rose smiles,
at pickled lagers with bottle-necks tipping,
under paid waitress; with little brown jugs,
serves the last call, on the rocks.
Screwed drivers with heads hung over,
tequila-sunrises on icy roads shining,
Newfies screeching with nerves bar-tender,
one more for the rocks on the road
By Jove !
toast all-co-hollers, with glass-jaws drooling.
Tanked battalions, drafted on orders,
wined up bitter on the rocks.
Bar-sugars with brown-cow eyes,
watch beer bellied bouncers, with blood-shot fingers,
sling-a-pore-singer, with boozed-breathed ballads.
Phonics and tonics, on the rocks
Stewed-tomatoes flash rose smiles,
at pickled lagers with bottle-necks tipping,
under paid waitress; with little brown jugs,
serves the last call, on the rocks.
Screwed drivers with heads hung over,
tequila-sunrises on icy roads shining,
Newfies screeching with nerves bar-tender,
one more for the rocks on the road
By Jove !
