Verse 1:

        

Hey mister, where are you headed?

Are you in a hurry?

I need a lift to happy hour, 

say oh no!

Do you break for distilled spirits?

I need a break as well.

The well that inebriates the guilt.

1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Verse 2:

Cold turkeys gettin stale.

Tonight I'm eatin crow.

Fermented salmonella,

poison oak, no!

There's a drought at The Fountain of Youth,

And now I'm dehydrating.

My tongue in swelling up, I say 

1,2. 1,2,3,4!
