about

In our cups, sir, in our cups. Best not to mix them.

lyrics

When demon rum met devil whiskey way down in my gut
they lit cigars with dynamite and bathed themselves in smut
they set up house, then knocked it down, then set it up again
then burned the damn thing to the ground and danced around and sang:

Thank you for inviting us, thanks and thanks again,
some folks truly hate us, and others we call friends,
but we love you best of all, and no, that's not just noise,
you think we say that kind of thing to all the thirsty boys?

I called on madam reefer to soothe and make them sleep
but as soon as she arrived, they both began to weep:
oh lovely lovely lovely sweet old sister where have you been
I think I'm growing dizzy, come and lay with us again!

Chorus

Morning came and demon rum was nowhere to be seen
nor was devil whiskey, but I could sure smell where they'd been:
up and down my body, from throat to toes they'd wracked
and they left my head a shambles, so I begged them to come back

Chorus
