Suckin' A Big Bottle Of Gin

I tried my best just to stay at rest

When the moon and the wind both died

But you locked me in with your best friend

Honey your window was open wide

I escaped in time to see your man

Truckin' in that bar again

He was fondlin' Lucy and singin' to Suzy

Suckin' up a bottle of gin

You said you'd see me 'bout half past nine

I said I'd see you at ten

I knew that I lied to you

But I didn't know that we both lied to your man

Well I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him

Truckin' back in that bar again

He's still fondlin' Lucy, he's been singing to Suzy

And suckin' on that bottle of gin

He's still got a hold of Lucy, fondlin' Suzy

Suckin' on that bottle of gin

I headed for the door when you hit the floor

Your man hit me in the head

I hit the windows and I hit the walls

And it hit me that I might be dead

I was thinkin' slow and sinkin' low

And I saw that man again

He's still got a hold of Lucy and he's fondlin' Suzy

Suckin' that big bottle of gin

Well, he's fondlin' Lucy, singin' to Suzy

Suckin' that big bottle of gin
