Sobriety Songtext
von Jolly Jackers

SOBRIETY

Come swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.
Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.

O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.


(1., 2., 1, 2, 3, 4)
Sobriety, sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!

O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.

(1., 2., 1, 2, 3, 4)
Sobriety. sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!

Sobriety. sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!


Sobriety. sobriety!
My little punk!
Sobriety, sobriety!
We are drunk!
