The Lyrics

In my personal experience, I've observed that the overwhelming majority of trombone players have an intimate relationship with John Barleycorn. I've already written a few parodies about drinking and its effects. Here's another. ;D

I drink the booze 'til it pains.
The booze I abuse screws my brains.
Each shot consumed - when I sing or when I play
Comes back to haunt me - at dawn of the next day.
'Though I can feel my gut churn,
My wife says "And still you don't learn!".
Just what am I thinking when I start in drinking?
At least it's not high-priced champagne.

(Instrumental chorus)

I drink those fermented grains,
And I lick each glass for remains.
'Though all my friends - show concern, I say that's bunk.
I'm not an alkie! I'm a part-time bingeing drunk.
I throw down peppermint scnapps
And hope that I'll slip by the cops.
So pour me another, and don't tell my mother.
Yes I drink the booze 'til it pains.

"Gentleman Jim" Reeves (1923 - 1964) was an American country/pop singer with a wonderfully rich voice and a way with a ballad. Like Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Patsy Cline, Jim Croce, Ricky Nelson, and Otis Redding, he died in a private airplane accident. His popularity increased after his untimely death. ;D

My sax playing would drive anyone to drink.

Used to imbibe a bit...had to give it up...heart condition and age....always good to write and sing about, though

Excess drinking is such a natural topic for parody, eh? And as a bonus, the more you drink, the better the trombone sounds! One thing I've always wondered about the trombone - who was Trom? Anyway, fun work, I particulary liked the "schnapps / cops" pairing.
