Don't Drink And Jive
(G. Oeller)

1. Took my baby to a party (eight o' clock)
At the house of Dickie Hardy (to rock the bop)
The crowd was a jumpin' (skipedy-hop)
I said: "Stay right here while I get us some beer."

2. Time went by (Oh what a night)
Beers went by (and moonshine bright)
My senses went high (just like a kite)
So I took a chance and said: "Honey let's dance!"

(They went round and round) - and so did my head
(up and down) - my guts went mad
(Oh, you plastered bastard) That's what my baby said.
Well take my advice : Don't drink and jive.

Don't drink and Jive
Don't drink and Jive

3. We did some awesome whirls (Ooh Whee Ooh).
And some wicked twirls (like the swirling shoe)
Swallowed one of her curls (what a thing to do)
She said "Thanks a bunch for not blowing your lunch!"

4. I did some king-sized chokin' (twas a crazy sound)
Well I ain't jokin' (you're not a clown).
Got dragged through that door (porcelain bound)
I finally broke my bone as I hit the throne.

(It went round and round) and so did my head
(threw up and down well), my guts gone mad
(You plastered bastard) That's what my Baby said.
Take my advice: Don't drink and jive.

SOLO

It went round and round ....

Don't drink and Jive
Don't drink and Jive

5. So if you take her to a party (eight o clock)
At the house of Dickie Hardy (to rock the bop)
And the crowd is a jumpin (skipedy hop)
If you wanna score you better booze no more.

6. Just go round and round (not in your head)
up and down (don't let your guts go mad)
don't be a plastered bastard (you'll be so glad)
if you take my advice: don't driiiiink aaaaand jiiiiiive.
