Dancin' On The Bar

Well, it's hard to watch a party

When you're the only one who's feeling bad

People watch you out of the corner of their eyes when they laugh

Still, I wish all the best for you

Carry on as long as you want to

But if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

Hey, if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

I'm not as happy as you are

And I'm just trying to get through to tomorrow

She upped and left 'fore I could think

Of all the reasons that she shouldn't ought to

So if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

And there was a time not long ago

When I'd be right up there with you

I'd be singin' and dancin'

And carryin' on the whole night through

And there was a time not long ago

Though now it's so hard to believe

That I wouldn't be alone, you know

She'd be right up there with me

So, if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

I'm not as happy as you are

And I'm just tryin' to get through to tomorrow

She upped and left 'fore I could think

Of all the reasons that she shouldn't ought to

So if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

She upped and left 'fore I could think

Of all the reasons that she shouldn't ought to

So if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle

Teah, if you're dancin' on the bar

Try not to kick over this bottle
