Whats The Use Of Getting Sober when Youre Gonna Get Drunk Again Lyrics


    Dv = deep voice, sv = squeaky voice

    Dv: boy, you listen to your old pappy
    Sv: yeah, pappy
    Dv: and stop drinking so much
    Sv: i'm-i'm ain't been doing so much drinking, pappy
    Dv: shut up, boy! you drink all day and you drink all night and you know, son, that that ain't right
    Sv: oh pappy, you just give me a chance. i, i can, i . . .
    Dv: shut up, boy! boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig
    Sv: i know that . . .
    Dv: look likes your dear old pappy - about to blow your wig
    Sv: oh i'm gonna blow my wig, pappy

    What's the use of getting sober
    When you're gonna get drunk again
    Oh sam done something fine
    When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
    I love my whiskey and i love my gin
    Every time you see me i'm in my sin
    So what's the use of getting sober
    When you're gonna get drunk again

    Dv:
    I went out last night about half past one
    Thought i'd whoop it up a little and have some fun
    I got me a half pint about half past two
    Mmm, mmm, the way i was feeling you know what i wanna do
    Got me a pint about half past four
    Felt so good, went out and got me some more
    Got me a quart about half past five
    Boy, that was so nice didn't know if i was dead or alive

    So what's the use of getting sober if you're gonna get drunk again
    Oh sam done something fine
    When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
    I love my whiskey and i love my gin
    Every time you see me i'm in my sin
    So what's the use of getting sober
    When you're gonna get drunk again

    Well i've been thinking
    But i keep drinking
    I guess i'm 'bout lose my mind
