God's Own Drunk (Originally Performed by Jimmy Buffett) [Karaoke Version]

歌詞

Well, like I explained to y'all before I ain't no drinkin' man I tried it once and it got me highly irregular and I swore I'd never do it again But I promised my brother-in-law that I'd go up and watch his still While he went into town to vote It was up there on the mountain where the map said it would be Friends let me tell you one thing though, it wadn't no ordinary still It stood up that mountainside like, like a huge golden opal God's yellar moon was a' shinin' on the cool clear evenin' God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and off in the heavens and Like I explained to you once before, I ain't no drinkin' man But, temptation got the best of me, and I took a slash (wshew!... woah...) That yellar whiskey runnin' down my throat like honeydew vine water, and I took another slash Took another and another and another 'Fore you knew it I'd downed one whole jug o' that shit and commenced to get hot flashes Goosepimples was runnin' up and down my body and a feelin' came over me like Somethin' I'd never experienced before It's like, like I was in love ("Why don't we have a little love Mike") In love for the first time, with anything that moved Animate, in-animate it didn't matter It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on and off in my brain sayin' "Jimmy Buffett there' a great day a comin'", 'cause I was drunk Now I wadn't, uh, knee-crawlin', slip-slidin' Reggy-youngin', commode-huggin' drunk I was God's own drunk and a fearless man And that's when I first saw the bear He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout 19 feet tall He rambled up over the hill 'spectin' me to do one of two things Flip or fly, I didn't do either one, it hung him up He starts sniffin' 'round my body tryin' to smell fear But he ain't gonna smell no fear, 'cause I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man It hung him up He looked me right in my eyes and my eyes was a lot redder than his was It hung him up So I approached him and I said, "Mr. Bear, I love every hair on your 27 acre body I know you got a lotta friends over there on the other side of the hill There's ole' Rear Bear, Tall Bear, Freddy Bear, Kelly Jair, Relly Bear Smelly the Bear, Smokey the Bear, Pokey the Bear I want you to go back over there tonight and tell 'em I'm feelin' right You tell 'em I love each and every one of 'em like a brother and a sister But if they give me any trouble tonight I'm gonna run every Goddamned one of 'em off the hill" He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think Neither did I, but, being charitable and cautious, well hell, I approached him again I said, "Mr. Bear, you know in the eyes of the Lord We're both beasts when it comes right down to it So I want you to be my buddy, 'Buddy Bear'" So I took ole' Buddy Bear by his island sized paw and I led him over to the still Now he's a' sniffin' around that thing 'cause he's smellin' somethin' good I gave him one of them jugs of honeydew vine water, he downed it upright Looked like one of them damn bears in the circus sippin' sasparilly in the moonlight I gave him another and another and another 'fore I knew it He'd downed eight of 'em and commenced to do the "bear dance" Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt And it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar and I's awful tired Went over to the hillside, and I laid down, went to sleep Slept for four hours, and dreamt me some tremulous dreams And when I woke up, Oh, there was God's yellar moon a' shinin' on the clear cool evenin' And God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and off in the heavens And my buddy the bear was a' missin' Yeah, you want to know somethin' else friends and neighbors, so was that still That's a take Wait, could uh, you missed it?
