Karaoké God's Own Drunk Jimmy Buffett

Well like I explained to y'all before I ain't no drinkin' man

I tried it once and it got me highly

Irregular and I swore

I'd never do it again

But I promised my brother in law that

I'd go up and watch his still while he went into

Town to vote it was right up

There on the mountain where the man said

It would be

Friends let me tell you one thing though it wasn't no ordinary still

It stood up on that mountainside like like a huge golden opal

God's yellar moon was a' shinin' on the cool clear evenin'

God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on

And off in the heavens and like like I explained

To you once before I ain't no drinkin' man

But temptation got the best in me

And I took a slash shew, whoa

That yellar whiskey runnin' down my

Throat like honey dew vine water

I took another slash

And I took another and another and another

'Fore you knew it

I'd downed one whole jug

O' that shit and commenced to get hot flashes

Goosepimples was runnin' up and down my body

And a feelin' came over me like

Somethin' I'd never experienced before

It's like like I was in love why don't we have a little love Mike

In love for the first time

With anything that moved

Animate inanimate it didn't matter

It's like there's a great neon sign flashin'

On and off in my brain sayin

Jimmy Buffett there's a great day a comin'

'Cos I was drunk

Now I wasn't uh knee crawlin' slip slidin'

Reggie youngin' commode huggin' drunk

I was God's own drunk

And a fearless man

And that's when

I first saw the bear

He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet tall

He rambled up over the hill 'spectin'

Me to do one of two things flip or fly

I didn't do either one it hung him up

He starts sniffin' 'round my body tryin' to smell fear

But he ain't gonna smell no fear

'Cos I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man it hung him up

He looked me right in my eyes and my

Eyes was a lot redder than his was

And it hung him up

So I approached him and I said mister Bear

I love every hair on your twenty seven acre body

I know you got a lotta friends over

There on the other side of the hill

There's ole' Rear Bear

Tall Bear

Freddy Bear Kelly Jair

Relly Bear Smelly Bear

Smokey the Bear

Pokey the Bear

I want you to go back over there

Tonight and tell 'em

I'm feelin' right

You tell 'em I love each and every one

Of 'em like a brother and a sister

But if they give me any trouble tonight

I'm gonna run every Goddamned one

Of 'em off the hill

He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think

Neither did I but being charitable

And cautious well hell I approached him again

And I said mister Bear

You know in the eyes of the Lord

We're both beasts when it comes right down to it

So I want you to be my buddy buddy Bear

So I took ole'

Buddy Bear by his island sized

Paw and I led him over to the still

Now he's a' sniffin' around that

Thing 'cos he's smellin' somethin' good

I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water he downed it upright

Looked like one of them amn bears in

The circus sippin' sasparilly in the moonlight

I gave him another and another and another 'fore he knew it

He'd downed eight of 'em and commenced to do the bear dance

Two sniffs a snort a fly a turn and a grunt

And it was so simple like the jitterbug it

Plumb evaded me

And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar and I's awful tired

Went over to the hillside and I laid down went to sleep

Slept for four hours and dreamt me some tremulous dreams

And when I woke up oh there was God's

Yellar moon a' shinin' on the clear cool evenin'

And God's little lanterns just a' twinklin' on and off in the heavens

And my buddy the bear was a' missin'

Yeah you want to know somethin' else friends and neighbors

So was that still

That's a take

Wait could uh

You missed it
