Beer Belly Blues

A:

Woke up this morning

And I looked in the mirror

Woke up this morning

Took a hard look in the mirror

Didn’t see no head, no legs, no tail

Just a bell-y full of beer

A:

Only 2 things make me sad in this ol’ world

But they happen all the time

Only 2 things make me sad

But they happen all the time

The first one is seeing the truth

And the other one is being blind

Chorus:

I paid the tab

I drank the booze

Yes I paid the tab

And I drank the booze

Don’t tell me you ain’t had them yourself

I got the beer belly blues

B:

I’ve talked to my tailor

Talked to my friends

Talked to my sponsor

But I can’t make amends

I talked to the governor

But the world’s still on fire

I talked to the devil

But he was wearing a wire

Chorus 2:

I paid the tab

I drank the booze

Don’t tell me you ain’t had them yourself

I got the beer belly blues

A:

Well I woke up this morning

With the beer belly blues

Yes I woke up this morning

With the Beer Belly Blues

But one day I won’t wake up

No more beer

No more belly

No more blues.
