Louis Jordan - How High Am I? lyrics

How high, how high am I? I won't be sober till the fourth of July Move all the buildings and let me by How high am I? Hey Richard! come on down here boy and open this door What kind of whiskey is this? This whisky won't let you do nothing I ain't never felt that way before All the world is apple pie All the seas are ink All the trees are dry bread and cheese I'm thirsty, what am I gonna drink? Rum, whiskey, rye and gin Can't you tell what a fool I've been Bring out the doctor Richard, se the state I'm in I'm higher than the sky, How high am I? I don't like liquor but I'm drunk everyday When they make liquor it just comes my way Everything in the world happens to me I drink black coffee and it tastes like tea I feel like a feather but I'm yelling like a hound I would be a king but I haven't got a crown One more drink and I believe I'll drown How high am I? Everybody's drinking Scotch and soda Hey boy, come here, come here Bring me a rum and coke You know I believe I'll have to crawl home on my knees And Jack, that ain't no joke Rum, whiskey, rye, beer and gin Can't you tell what a fool I've been? Come here, come here somebody Can't you see I'm socked? How high am I? No that's a lie, I'm drunk
