It's been awhile, and looking back

I keep losing track of how long it's been

And who left who again, and since when

The little hand is on the one

And I have just begun to suck on a lime

And start learning to tell time

I started feeling low a beer ago

And in about a gin and tonic or two

I'll be a blue hawaiin away from crying for you

Two martinis from now

It won't matter much anyhow

I started to overflow two martinis ago

I couldn't last one gimlet more

But I've still got time for a sob and a sigh

And one more whisky and rye just went by

The little hand is on the two

I wonder what I'll do if it gets to three

How many teardrops will that be?

I bow my head and pray to be ok

And in a half a manhattan or so

I'll have two our fathers and one

Bloody mary to go

Two martinis hence it

Might start to make some sense

I unsealed my fate one fifth

Of bourbon too late

The little hand is on the three

How many teardrops will it be

Till I collapse and your memory's under wraps?

There's so much getting through to catch up to

I'm still four white russians behind

I feel a Jim Beam shining on me

I might be losing my mind

In a teardrop or two it'll be time to get over you

And I'll figure out just how two martinis from now
