时长: 04:31
Brew the coffee in a bucket[00:00:06]
Double straight man and banjo[00:00:10]
If you don't got the snake oil[00:00:13]
Buster you don't got a show[00:00:16]
Who puts the doh-re-me[00:00:19]
In our pockets[00:00:21]
Keeps the party going on [00:00:22]
It's the man[00:00:25]
Who sells the potions[00:00:27]
I'm just one who plays the songs[00:00:29]
Now they generally buys[00:00:32]
The bigger size[00:00:35]
They usually rub it in[00:00:37]
I drank it once it tasted[00:00:40]
Like grease and paraffin[00:00:43]
It's mostly alcohol okay[00:00:46]
You can't deny it's strong[00:00:50]
We was going through the motions[00:00:53]
'Til the doctor came along[00:00:56]
There stands the bottle[00:01:01]
Ladies and gentlemen[00:01:05]
All these bottles[00:01:09]
Don't have to tell you friends[00:01:12]
These days miracles[00:01:15]
Don't come falling from the sky[00:01:18]
Raise your glasses to the doctor[00:01:21]
To a stand up guy[00:01:25]
When the monkeyshine is flying[00:01:36]
And he's promising the cure[00:01:39]
He says the french[00:01:43]
For your lovesick blues[00:01:44]
La maladie d'amour[00:01:47]
He gets the chumps all laughing[00:01:50]
But he gets a few to buy[00:01:54]
Here's to beefsteak[00:01:56]
When you're hungry[00:01:58]
And whiskey when you're dry[00:02:00]
Now the band'll blow their moolah[00:02:03]
Like sailors gone ashore[00:02:07]
Now we're going to west helena[00:02:10]
To gamble drink and whore[00:02:14]
Let's you and me[00:02:17]
All make whoopee[00:02:19]
Here's mud in your eye[00:02:21]
Here's to all the gals you ever want[00:02:24]
And heaven when you die[00:02:27]
There stands the bottle[00:02:31]
Ladies and gentlemen[00:02:35]
All these bottles[00:02:40]
Don't have to tell you friends[00:02:43]
These days miracles[00:02:46]
Don't come falling from the sky[00:02:49]
Raise your glasses to the doctor[00:02:52]
To a stand up guy[00:02:56]
There's a big cheese with a cigar[00:03:07]
Been sizing up the show[00:03:10]
He wants to get the doctor[00:03:14]
Pitching on the radio[00:03:17]
I will make a switch to guitar[00:03:20]
But the rules all still apply[00:03:24]
They want to trust somebody[00:03:27]
Yeah they want a stand up guy[00:03:30]
There stands the bottle[00:03:35]
Here's to absent friends[00:03:39]
All these bottles[00:03:43]
Dead soldiers in the end[00:03:46]
These days miracles[00:03:49]
Don't come falling from the sky[00:03:53]
Raise your glasses to the doctor[00:03:56]
To a stand up guy[00:04:00]
To the doctor[00:04:06]
A stand up guy[00:04:07]
