Went to a party on a Saturday night
In the middle of the harvest season
Met an old man with a bottle in his hand
Who'd clearly lost his reason
He was up on the tabletop
Dancin' and he wouldn't stop
Lampshade on his head
Kicked up his heels and the girls all squealed
As he slipped like a man on a sled
He fell on my grandpa
Sittin' up against the wall
Here's what Grandpa said:
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
I don't know who filled the bottle up
But I think I know who downed it
I've heard it said, when it goes to your head
There ain't no gettin' around it
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
A man came braggin' by the house one day
Sayin' how he was sittin' real pretty
Said he just met a man who sold him some land
In the middle of New York City
Said I met a man fishin' who said he was wishin
He could sell me this bridge in Brooklyn
Well I ain't no hick so I jumped on it quick
I could smell a good deal cookin'
My grandpa said as he scratched his head
"I believe that fisherman's hooked one"
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
I don't know who filled the bottle up
But I think I know who downed it
I've heard it said, when it goes to your head
There ain't no gettin' around it
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
You can see the weirdest things
In this circus we call living
The wheels of the world go 'round and 'round
And we just wobble with 'em
There are suckers and shysters
Movers and heisters
Times of pain and bliss
Good guys, bad guys, straights and otherwise
On and on goes the list
Yeah people do the strangest things
They even listen to songs like this
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
I don't know who filled the bottle up
But I think I know who downed it
I've heard it said, when it goes to your head
There ain't no gettin' around it
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
I don't know who threw the liquor in the well
But I think I know who found it
