Drinking Song

To the old chrome cassette of my mother's voice
I still cry when I hear her sing
The clock struck twelve
The voice I love so well
Was eaten up by the machine
It was eaten up by the machine!

When the glass is full
Drink up! Drink up!
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober
He'd knock the glass over
So while it is full we drink up!

A toast to Mary, a girl I once loved
Oh Lord, why do things have to die?
If drinking beer could bring her back here
I'd drink the damn place dry
Yes, I'd drink the damn place dry!

When the glass is full
Drink up! Drink up!
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober
He'd knock the glass over
So while it is full we drink up!

Here's to the old house
On Lily Pond Lane
And the room where my boots used to rest
One day I gave the foundation a shake
But my home did not pass the test
No my home did not pass the test

When the glass is full
Drink up! Drink up!
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober
He'd knock the glass over
So while it is full we drink up!

When the glass is full
Drink up! Drink up!
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober
He'd knock the glass over
So while it is full we drink up!
