Now I wanna tell you a little story about the old demon alcohol
ย
Yes indeed, my little chickadee
ย
Here's a sad and woeful story
About a middle class executive
Who enjoyed a life of prominence and position
ย
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition
It turned him to the booze
And he got mixed up with a floozy
And she led him to a life of indecision
The floozy made him spend his dough
She left him lying on skid row
A drunken lag at some Salvation Army mission
It's very sad
ย
Oh, demon alcohol
Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would say
Damn it all, blow it all
Oh, demon alcohol
Memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
ย
Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
ย
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
Then he beat up his lot and he messed up his wife
And the floozy's gone and found another suffer
She's gonna turn him on to drink, lead him to the brink
When his money's gone she'll leave him in the gutter
It's very sad
ย
Oh, demon alcohol
Memories I can't recall
Who thought I would say
Damn it all, alcohol
ย
Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
And I wanna tell you all
Never to fall a slave to demon alcohol
It's gonna break you all
Enslaved by demon alcohol
ย
Thank you
