You know Big Moe, I need a fresh drink
Nomax, you're making a very serious mistake here
How you figured
You oughta listen to your friend Big Moe
I'm listenin'
And stop drinkin so much
I don't drink that much
Shut up boy, you drink all day and you drink all night
Now Max you know that aint right
Let me explain
Shut up boy, your eyes are as red as they can be
That ok, I've got some sunglasses somewhere
And it looks to Big moe you're about
To blow your wig
Now I'm not gonna blow my wig
When you gonna learn boy?
What's the use of gettin sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Exactly
You know, old sam did something mighty fine
When he brought back good whiskey, beer and wine
Because I love my whiskey and I love my gin
Every time you see me I'll be in the sin
Don't you think you already deep enough in sin?
When you gonna learn Max?
What's the use of gettin sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Hey you know Big Moe
I went out last night about half past one
I thought I'd whoop it up a little bit, you know
Have me some fun
I understand
So I got me a half a pint about half past two
Now after I drank that you know what I wanted to do
Sleep
Uh, uh, then I got me a pint about half past four
Now after i drank that I just wanted some more
So then I got me a quart
Oh a quart
Yes about half past five
Now after I drank that
Ooh, I didn't know if I was dead or alive
I think more dead than alive
When you gonna learn Max?
What's the use of gettin sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
God I hope this boy learns, lord have mercy
I been thinkin', but I keep drinkin'
And I'm just about to lose my mind
