lyrics

SOBRIETY

Come swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.
Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.

Sobriety, sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!


O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.

Sobriety. sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!
