Well, your brain grows loose, you're sippin' rum with rye, babe
Drippin' from nose flows by blouse
An' you're stained with hooch, you lick your gums and sigh, babe
Little wonder you get soused
When your moochers show and no cake is found
Put down your swizzle, it riles my hound
Too unpleasin' this rattlin' sound
Don't clink ice, it's not nice

How I hate it when you're a-stirrin' up a fight, babe
A fight I'd better throw
An' I hate it when you're slurrin' lots of spite, babe
I've got a harsh bride, that I know
But you sit there a-clunkin' stupid cubes I hate
Do try and make these grating chimes abate
Please check your wrists, too much knockin' irritates
Oh, don't clink ice, it's not nice

Oh, it's plain you're juiced, your brawlin' bout's insane, gal
Ice you treasure some deplore
As you crave more booze, gin's fallin' down like rain, gal
I can hear it when you pour
You're a-drinkin' and a-gulpin', rocks are way loud, I scold
Ice bumps as I'm shushin', a wild gripe, too bold
I shiver and snarl, but you want your vice cold
Oh, don't clink ice, it's not nice

So wrong, funny gaze
Swear I've found ice can melt
Wood pile where cubes stood, absurd blaze
Oh, I chuck trays, merry yelp
My pain's fadin', new streak of peace of mind
Cubes could have been wetter, but I'd go blind
You'll just whine an' rage at my reckless crime
But don't clink ice, it's not nice
