The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth, Bombyx mori (Latin: "silkworm of the mulberry tree"). It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food is white mulberry leaves, but it may also eat the leaves of any other mulberry tree (i.e., Morus rubra or Morus nigra)[citation needed] as well as the Osage Orange. It is entirely dependent on humans for its reproduction and does not occur naturally in the wild. Sericulture, the practice of breeding silkworms for the production of raw silk, has been underway for at least 5,000 years in China, from where it spread to Korea and Japan, and later to India and the West. The silkworm was domesticated from the wild silkmoth Bombyx mandarina which has a range from northern India to northern China, Korea, Japan and far the eastern regions of Russia. The domesticated silkworm derives from Chinese rather than Japanese or Korean stock. It is unlikely that silkworms were domestically bred before the Neolithic age: it was not until then that the tools required to facilitate the manufacturing of larger quantities of silk thread had been developed. The domesticated B. mori and the wild B. mandarina can still breed and sometimes produce hybrids.
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Or may I suggest a draft to help you digest
The sugar in that Boone's Farm Wine
Or any other really cheap apple kind
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What kind of drunk with any self-respect at all
Would give up on his friends that way
Would give in to the pressure's sway?
I never asked you to swim
In that soup bowl of contempt
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Did I ever ask you to swim
In that soup bowl of our contempt?
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
You take what you [Incomprehensible]
