In front of a tavern flat on his face
A booze-hound named Barney is pleading his case
Buy me a beer two bucks a glass
C'mon help me I'm freezing my ass
Buy me brandy a snifter of wine
Who am I kidding I'll drink turpentine
Move it you drunk or I'll blast your rear-end
I found two bucks
Then come in my friend
And so let us leave on this heartwarming scene
Can I be a booze-hound
Not till you're fifteen
