He Sure Gives Drinkin' A Bad Name
C. Paul E. Pedersen, Jr./Al Carmichael/Mount Misery Music, BMI
Well, he's ruined every woman,
He's had the pleasure to have known.
Left 'em broke and bitter,
With their hearts turned cold as stone.
And he's gone through more employers,
Than there are stars up in the sky.
Just up and left 'em wonderin',
And never said good-bye.
He sure gives drinkin' a bad name.
He's turned a social custom into a wicked, nasty game.
One sip starts it rollin', then he keeps goin' till he's insane.
Yeah, he sure gives drinkin' a bad name.
And he's turned some damn-good parties,
Into the worst nightmare you've seen.
Caused life-long friends to turn their backs,
'Cause he's too damned drunk to see.
And he's heard his children cryin'
When they thought he couldn't hear
Wishin' he'd hold 'em just as tight
As he holds his beer.
And he sure gives drinkin' a bad name.
He's turned a social custom into a wicked, nasty game.
One sip starts it rollin', then he keeps goin' till he's insane
Yeah, he sure gives drinkin' a bad name.
One sip starts it rollin', then he keeps goin' till he's insane
Yeah, he sure gives drinkin' a bad name.
