Alcoholic Baby | ||||||||||
(originally
"Melancholy Baby") Come, sweetheart, hon, don't sit so blunt; Tell me of the drinks that make you look so blue. What have I done? Answer me, hon; Have I ever brought a half full glass to you? My love is true, and just for you; I'd do almost any thing at any time. Dear, when you wheel or when you reel, Something seems to grip this caring heart of me. Chorus: Come to me my al - co - hol - ic ba - by, Cheer up and don't be blue All their blames are foolish fancies, maybe You know dear, that I'm here with you. Ev'ry bottle must have a sparkly lining; Wait until the sun shines through. Why you're gawking, dear? Wake and pass that bottle here As I am just an al - co - hol - ic too. Bottles on shelves, revellers' glee, Could not fail to lull you into peaceful dreams So tell me why sadly you sigh Staring at the whiskey and a plate of beans. Shake ashes off sleeve! try and believe You should be entertaining when your friend's with you. Don't be a sod , stop dribble and nod When you're like that it makes me feel like stifling you. Chorus: |
