A Lot to Drink About Jimmy Buffett
[C]Up on the east side of Manhattan,[C7]
[Fm]They're still dancing with the st[C]ars
While over i[Fm]n "Sub-prime" city, [C]
h^B G7
It's getting angry in the local bars
[F]Watching the news only gi[C]ves me the blues,
h^F# Am
There's too much going wrong
It takes the l[Fm]ikes of me to hit the reboot key[C]
And write a [G7]high speed drinking s[C]ong.
[C]Millionaires losing everything. [C7]
[Fm]Hey, welcome to the other side of[C] life!
[Fm]There goes the yacht, t[C]here goes the Rolls,
h^B G7
But, you get to keep your wife!
[F]And don't forget the auto[C]makers
h^F# Am
Swimming upstream like a trout.
They let the s[Fm]**t hit the fan and then they made [C]a plan,
We'v[G7]e got a lot to drink ab[C]out.
Chorus
[F]It's the price of oil, [C]the war of spoils.
[C]Where's your bucket for the big bailout?[Am]
[F]Iraq, Iran, A[C]fghanistan,
[G7]We've got a lot to drink a[C]bout.
[C]Now, "Madoff "made off with all t[C7]he money.
[Fm]Now his clients are down to skunk[C] weed.
[Fm]Repeat after me, it's so ea[C]sy to see,
h^B G7
We're only talking simple greed.
[F]And those Somalian pirat[C]es are counting all the gold.
h^F# Am
While Bush & Cheney ain't around,
And a[Fm]ll the good lookers seem to be Czech [C]hookers,
[G7] [C]
Chorus
So [Bb]pour me some Tennessee w[F]hiskey,
[Bb]Pour me a fine Jamaican r[F]um
[Bb]That loud mouth soup gets me kin[F]d of looped,
Teq[D]uila, of course I'll have some![G]
[C]Now the family devalue[C7]s
[Fm]And little children count their n[C]et worth
And the trut[Fm]h wherever it's hiding [C]
h^B G7
[F]Citibank's buying jets wi[C]th our money.
h^F# Am
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.
I hope [Fm]Obama and Joe won't let the [C]volcano blow
[G7]And patch the hole in our s[C]inking ship.
Chorus
[F]Recession, depression, reg[C]ression? Good-God!
[C]CNN keeps bumming me out.[Am]
[F]I can't take another [C]doomsday moment.
[G7]We got a lot to drink, a lot[G7] to think, a [G7]lot to d[C]rink about.
