Joe Jackson - What's The Use of Getting Sober lyrics

Boy, you listen to your old Pappy Yeah, Pappy And stop drinking so much I'm, I'm ain't been doing so much drinking, Pappy Shut up, boy! You drink all day and you drink all night And son you know that, that ain't right Oh Pappy, you just give me a chance, I, I can, I Shut up, boy! Boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig I know that Look liked your dear old Pappy you're about to blow your wig Oh I'm gonna blow my wig, Pappy What's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again Oh, Sam done something fine When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine I love my whiskey and I love my gin Every time you see me I'm in my sin So what's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again I went out last night about half past one Thought I'd whoop it up a little and have some fun I got me a half pint about half past two Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do Got me a pint about half past four Felt so good, went out and got me some more Got me a quart about half past five Boy, that was so nice didn't know if I was dead or alive So what's the use of getting sober If you're gonna get drunk again Oh, Sam done something fine When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine I love my whiskey and I love my gin Every time you see me I'm in my sin So what's the use of getting sober When you're gonna get drunk again Well I've been thinking But I keep drinking I guess I'm 'bout lose my mind
