lyrics

Pass me the bottle, Do me no harm
I’ll have two fingers one from each arm
Say you can’t help me, say I can’t hear
I‘ll start on the whisky, I’ve finished the beer
Refrain
Smart when I walked in, I‘m much smarter now
This closing time genius, is thinking much more
than his brain will allow
Wit, yes, and wisdom, I got ‘em in spades
Leave the amateurs crying, in their lemonades
Set ‘em up join me, hey I can dream
This guy with no water, can’t run out of steam
Smart when I walked in, I‘m much smarter now
This closing time genius, is thinking much more than his brain will allow
Oh but I don’t understand why there’s no sparkle in this wedding band
Ah but it’s like it was planned my IQ rises with the minute hand
Smart when I walked in, I‘m much smarter now
This closing time genius, is thinking much more than his brain will allow
