A                   Asus4Drunk men stagger, drunk men fall
A                  Asus4Drunk men swear & that's not all
C#m                               AQuite often drunks will urinate outdoors
A                   Asus4Like widowed women drunk men weep
A                       Asus4Like children curled up drunk men sleep
C#m                                        ALike a dog a drunk will crawl about on all fours
DBe it broke bum or rich rake

       D/GHis beverage be the worst of whiskey, finest wine
A                 Asus4Puke it stinks & so it seems

C#m                                          ABut there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
                                                                              
Drunks are strong & drunks are weak
It's easy for a drunk to speak
Straight from the heart
Drunks will fight, their not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress & make the maid
Oh, but it's a manly art
But it takes it toll on blood vessels & from there it will raise
Bags beneath the eyes & other signs
Drunks get ugly so it seems & drunks will go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line.

Drunks are friendly when they're drunk
And drunks are hostile when they're drunk
Which drunk it is it all depends upon
When drunk men drink they thirst they thirst for drink
Their elephants are grey not pink
When the drink evaporates the man is gone, gone, gone
Back to the flats & the subway cars
To the hipflasks & the fruit jars
Flat on thier face & flat on their backs
Drunks get drunk & so it seems 
That drunks will go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
