Alcoholic

Ohh Alcoholic

Ohh real good liquor

Ohh make you clumsy

Ohh make you throw up

Well...my Pop had a party at the house one

night on the last day of school and the food

is all right. We had a speaker on the roof and

a speaker on the hill with four turntables and

a reel to reel. All the pretty women came, no

ugly chicks all the stars came from the Ritz.

The people eat the chicken and they drink up

all the liquor and they turn into a big

Screwdriver

Well...my uncle is a 'Holic' and he down a

pound of Whiskey of Whiskey! With an Eight

for a chaser, spit it on the bouncer, bouncer

kicked his ass and he lost a girlfriend with a

big soul kitchen Now he's layin' in the gutter

like a skid row bum Skid row bum style

Ohh Alcoholic

Ohh Scotch and 800

Ohh make you scratch the record

Ohh burn the spaghetti

Well...I came home from school on a

Monday. I missed the radio reggae show.

I felt like a rude boy, I could have slammed

me a poseur

"You know" Well...My uncle called me a punk

rocker in the doorway as he dribbled on the

table when he started to say, "You're not a

rude boy, you're a lazy boy, you should

make like a tree and leave Make like a library

and book, Make like a roach and bug off

Ohh Alcoholic you can't drive Before you

crash and go to jail.
