[Chorus:] Where ya been? Hey mister in the mirror, where's my friend? I went out on on the town And I ain't seen him since Hey-ey, where ya been? Well I shuffled off to the South I took her right outside the line And I stopped to greet a stranger at the wall Hey feller, me and my friend, could we come on in? I heard in here they like to pour 'em tall [Chorus] When I turned to my left and grinned
I turned and lost my friend The air was thick and sticking to my clothes So I waited around til the end Though I said I'd stay til ten Everybody here knows that's how it goes [Chorus] I are, I are leaning on the end of the bar I outta to take my car cause I like to keep my keys [More now and then?] I come looking for my friend Ain't it funny how nobody saw him leave [Chorus]
