My Pal Alcohol lyrics

Now I've been drinkin� since I was four 
Ain't had enough and I still want more
Fill �em up again place the glasses in a row
I've been in the horrors and started to shake
But good hard liquor is what I take
And my pal alcohol I love you so

When I'm far away from home
And there's no pub I brew my own
Out of vegetables or anything that grows
I drink it till my eyes bulge out 
Then I scream and rave and shout
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

[Instrumental]

I've a lot of good reasons for drinkin�
And one has just entered my head
If you don't have a charge while you're livin�
You've got no flamin� chance when you're dead
Oh I don't care what people think
It's a well known fact I'll die from drink
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

I've very fine physicians
They�ve guarded me since my youth
One doctors name is Toohey
The other ones name is Tooth 
I've seen my whiskers curl and singe 
When I get through from a weekend binge
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

[Instrumental]

When I'm far away from home
And there's no pub I brew my own
Out of vegetables or anything that grows
I drink it till my eyes bulge out 
Then I scream and rave and shout
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so

Oh I hear there's a drink called water
It may appeal to some blokes
But to me I think it's unhealthy
See what it does to the bottoms of boats
This song�s about to end I think
So I must go for another drink
'Cause my pal alcohol I love you so.
