Got your whiskey and Coke
You may appreciate this joke
You seem like a decent bloke
You're doing pretty well
No one could never tell that
You've got your guitar by a string
You may play Some Enchanted Evening
You should be able to sing
It's all gonna happen
Oh you could never tell them
You got your white stare from a show
It was some show that I could not know
And it's pretty empty below
Watching that shell
One could never tell them
You've got your stupid stitch
You may already have become rich
You seem like a son-of-a-bitch
Yeah, I like you very well
One could never tell them
