Charlie Robison - Barlight - (Life Of The Party) lyrics

Well, when I was young my momma read me Nursery rhymes beside my bed And though they sounded mighty fine They made no sense to me But now that I am all grown up It seems my nights have changed such So I went out and made me up A nursery rhyme for me It goes, "Barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight" "Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle And the girls sings along with the tune Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon" You know I never understood how a big ole gal Could raise no kids in a shoe And any old jack goes jumping a candle Needs to find something better to do And a rub a dub dub 3 men in a tub Sure sounds kinda funny to me So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme And it's the only one I'll sing It goes, "Barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight" "Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle And the girls sings along with the tune Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon" I said I never understood how a big ole gal Could raise no kids in a shoe And any old jack goes jumping a candle Needs to find something better to do And a rub a dub dub 3 men in a tub Sure sounds kinda funny to me So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme And it's the only one I'll sing It goes, "Barlight, bar bright First bar that I see tonight Wish I may, wish I might Find someone to hold me tight" "Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle And the girls sings along with the tune Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon" I said just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon I said just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights And you can shut down this saloon
