Belly Up from "Teddy Sings" by Theodore Story

Belly up to the bar with me
pound on the table tell me what do you need
sit down and stay awhile
hang up your coat there gimme a smile
a hand on my back hows the family doing?
oh brother you're my buddy
and I'm so glad that here beside me

cause its been a long time since I been to the other side
if i ever go over there I'll get the blues on my mind
so I've been sitting here for six or seven hours
if no one I know comes by I'll be feeling pretty sour

I don't care who you are or where you think you're going
cause yer gonna sit wit me till the bar room be closing
before you know it I'll be getting loaded
dancing on the tables
having more fun than I can handle

and its been a long time since I been to the other side
if i ever go over there i'll get the blues on my mind
so I've been sitting here for six or seven hours
if no one I know comes by I'll be feeling pretty sour

I wanted a love that was true and tender
so much for that baby I'm on a bender
stoned, hammered, plastered, smashed, wasted, tipsy, totalled, totally turnt, totalled, smashed, wasted, drunk,
all of the above

but no matter what I'm yer buddy
so sit down tell me all about it and I'll make us a hot toddy
if there aint no whiskey in the jar then theres wine in the bottle so
pour up a glass and I'll dance like a noodle
belly up to bar whatever you like its on me
just sit down and stay a while.
