Surly in the Morning

Surly in the mornin’
I am a Man among Men [x2]
Honey, please forgive me
I’m hungover and horny again

Last night I was alone
With all my troubles and my cares [x2]
Honey, I bought each and every one of them a drink
They’ve been my only friends for years and years

They say there was an Age of Enlightenment
Back in the Somethin’ Century
But somehow all that Truth and Wisdom
Did not rub off on me

Surly in the mornin’
Black Dog howlin’ in ma head [x2]
Honey, you know I ain’t no Boy Scout
But there’s a Tent Pole in our bed…

Apart from Plato and A. A. Milne
Who have we poor boys got to thank?
Where was Socrates and Winnie the Pooh
When the page was blank?

A man can find it hard, Babe
Every once in a while [x2]
Baby, won’t you please roll over
And show me your smile?
