lyrics

I don’t need alcohol
To be drunk in the morning
Drunk with you - drunk on you

I’d sip whiskey ‘til the party ends
Stir mint juleps with your weirdo friends
I’d roll with Bacchus to catch Aphrodite’s eye
I’d down a rum martini, stirred not shaken, extra dry, but …
I don’t need alcohol
To be drunk in the morning
Drunk with you - drunk on you

Sip Potion Number Nine and tonic
From your lips my love
Lick lilac wine melancholic
From your fingertips my dove
(Nectar flowing in the Halls Above)
¬¬
I’d ask Baudelaire to share a rare Margaux
Request Rasputin to distill me a potato
Heard ‘Ol Blue Eyes get no kick from champagne
but I’d nurse a Leffe Blonde
in which to dip my Madeleine, oh…
I don’t need alcohol
To be drunk in the morning
Drunk with you - drunk on you

Those Sufi mystics look to wine for the Truth
But ‘Lectric Kool-aid’s got more zing! than Vermouth;
I’d boil up Mezcal with the Lone De-Ranger,
I’ve heard that Absinthe make the art grow stranger, but
I don’t need alcohol
don’t need nothing at all –
Even the Holy Grail would be a waste
If but a drop should wash your taste …
So salty sweet – like ocean dew
To be drunk in the morning
Drunk with you – drunk on you!
