Started out with Burgundy,
a simple Montrachet Vintage 53
And a simple meal of Marengo veal,
with Potatoes Lyonnaise on the side
Then my business partner
broke the news,
he was taking over my wife and shoes
So I drank a bit, and it made a hit,
with the part of me that
still hadn't died
You know that everything gets better
when you're drunk
And most everyone
becomes your long -lost friend
And say, madam,
have you any change to lend?
Cos everything gets better
when you're drunk
I graduated down the line
Anything that passed for a pint of wine
Was a treat for me, look at me, you see
Cos it's California, son,
off the vine Muscatel, I drink a quart
Then I follow breakfast with tawny part
And it's cocktail time, but I hold the line
At a jug of kosher blueberry wine
You know that everything gets better
when you're drunk
And the world is so refocused
when it's blurred
And the reason for my tremors
spread the word
Is everything gets better
when you're drunk?
I bummed a buck off my old friend
He was just a little around the bend
The economy broke his nerve, you see
And he needs martinis under his belt
So when you crave a drink or two
Just a little something to
pull you through
You're no better than every wino man
But at least I know you know
how I felt
When I found everything gets better
when you're drunk
And most everyone
becomes your long lost friend
They say bad about you
and it changed too bad
Cause everything gets better
when you're drunk
Thank for
you
