Everyone wants to be a bartender
It must be a great life
I’ll bet all the girls must proposition you
You must overhear some great stories,
some wild conversations
I’ll bet all the waitresses are wild
I hear they’re like nurses,
hot and horny all the time
It must be great to get
all that free money and all
that free booze
You must make crazy tips here
You must be a gambler, who do you like in
Do you know where I can get some
flash women
Who’s your drug connection
I’m short, I know you guys always
have bread
It must be a great life
Yeah, and I’ve been beat up
in some of the best joints in town
