alcohol

amigo the devil

here's the story of a sinner

who used to be a winner

he enjoyed a life of prominence and position

but the pressures at the office

and the socialite engagement

and his selfish wife's fanatical ambition

they lead him to the booze

and he got mixed up with a floozy

and she lead him to a life of indecision

the floozy made him spend his doe

left him lying on skid row

a drunken log in some salvation army mission

oh

what a drag

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

and who'd have thought that i would fall

a slave to demon alcohol

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

and who'd have thought that i would say

dammit all

alcohol

barley wine

pink gin

he'll drink anything

port

pernod or tequila

rum

scotch

vodka on the rocks

as long as all his troubles disappear

he messed up his life

when he beat up his wife

and now the floozies gone and found another sucker

she's gonna drive him to the drink

she's gonna lead him to the brink

and when his monies gone she's gonna leave him in the gutter

oh

what a shame

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

and who'd have thought that i would say

dammit all

alcohol

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

and who'd have thought that i would fall

a slave to demon alcohol

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

who'd have thought that i would fall

a slave to demon alcohol

oh

demon alcohol

sad memories i can't recall

who'd have thought that i would say

dammit all
