I went out with the fellas last night once again Knowing full well it would bring me great pain But fool that I am, I ignored what I knew Drinking whiskey and wine and even homebrew I got home this morning from where I don't know My wife's just informed me that I'll have to go So down on my knees and down on the floor I promised her I wouldn't do it no more I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick I'm as dry as a Simpson, my tongue's a foot thick I'd be oh so lucky to lay down and die All I can do is just sit here and cry When she took me back and gave me a chance I wanted to sing and I wanted to dance But I just sat there as quiet as a mouse And I'd wondered if I'd hit some booze in the house I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick I'm as dry as a Simpson, my tongue's a foot thick I'd be oh so lucky to lay down and die But all I can do is just sit here and cry Well I searched high and low but I couldn't find A drink that would calm my nerves and my mind For a hair of the dog's the best cure I have found Oh I wish that they'd put that mongrel dog down So listen my friends to what I have to say My drink is a crime and crime doesn't pay And money sure talks I cannot deny It talks to me and says goodbye I'm hungover, hungover, feeling so sick I'm as dry as a Simpson, my tongue's a foot thick I'd be oh so lucky to lay down and die But all I can do is just sit here and cry
