lyrics

Track 5: Drink you under the Table

She’s pretty good company on a good old Saturday night
She keeps up with those good old boys; she’ll cuss them right out of sight
But if you should challenge Clarey, she’ll rub her hands with glee
She’ll break each ball with every call, I know, it happened to me

Well she’ll drink, drink, drink you under the table (drink, drink, drink you under the table)
She’ll dance, dance, dance you off the floor (dance, dance, dance you off the floor)
You’ll be razzled, frazzled, totally bedazzled, then hear yourself calling out for more
Well she’ll drink, drink, drink you under the table (drink, drink, drink you under the table)
She’ll spin you right off your feet, this time, every time
Her victory is bound to be complete, she’ll never cheat; she’ll never cheat

She is the one you’ll cling to, if you go down on one knee
Proposing a lifetime’s devotion, with a ring for company
But she’s had her fill of suitors, of poets and April fools
They all seem to me like a menagerie, objects of ridicule

To say she’s one of a kind is just half the truth; she always seems to end on top
But you know they’ll never stop, they keep coming round and round and round

Like a scene from Hogarth’s Alley she’ll be standing on her feet
While all around have hit the ground, paying homage in their defeat
So if you should challenge Clarey, she’ll put you in your place
She may play around but so many have found, that they just can’t stand the pace

(c) Dr Josh P Davis
