The Lyrics

This was my improv song at last night's karaoke...NOT what actually happened. The locations are in Northern Kentucky, but other cities can be substituted. ;D



By the time I get to Cold Spring I'll be weaving.
When I left the tavern I thought I was doing fine.
But it was only me I was deceiving
As I snake across that double yellow line.

By the time I hit Fort Thomas, I'll be busted.
I'll get pulled over by the hidden local cops.
My eyes and walking will be maladjusted
'Cause earlier I threw down thirteen schnapps.

By the time I get to Newport, I'll be handcuffed.
My wife will find out and skin me alive.
My message to you I can't re-peat e-nough.
For this once I'm not handing you some jive.
If you would survive -
Never drink and drive




Coming next: Brian Setzer's "Drunk, Drive, and Bail". ;D

Funny parody to that dreary old song. Have you been listening to the Happy Schnapps Combo?

A truly MADD parody. Did the cops demand ID? Oh, I forgot; it was Newport not Phoenix! 3fifths4u.
