And I'd like to sing a song of gratitude to that special chum
When I have a heart that's heavy
Feeling I was born to lose
You are there to say that life's okay
Thank you for it all dear booze
When a chilly wind is blowin'
Telling me to sing the blues
You begin to show your soothing glow
Thank you for it all dear booze
Drifting, flying, on a cloud of whiskey dreams
No more sighing, eyes alight with moonshine beams
When a love is unrequited
When she brushes off my woos
You are there to mend, my fluid friend
Thank you for it all dear booze
Drifting, flying, on a cloud of whiskey dreams
No more sighing, eyes alight with moonshine beams
When a love is unrequited
When she brushes off my woos
You are there to mend, my fluid friend
Thank you for it all dear booze
