I feel sorry for you, Sport
if you catch her alone
she'd probably love you in half
she floats on through like a casual ghost
like The Devil in a jaunty hat

It's 4 AM on a Tuesday night
work is just hours away
your car is on the other side of town
because you just had to play

She only drinks hot liquor
even when it's hot outside
it gets into the blood much quicker
that's what she believes
it's what she prescribes
hot liquor
brings the red to her lips
hot liquor
brings the swing to her hips

A bottle of Jameson on the stove
next to a percolating coffee pot
spot of rum in her cocoa cup
hot saki shot when it's not

Apple cider over an open fire
spiced whisky swirling in
Hot sugar water and lemon juice
making Tanqueray Toddies with gin

She only drinks hot liquor
even when it's hot outside
it gets into the blood much quicker
that's what she believes
it's what she prescribes
hot liquor
brings the red to her lips
hot liquor
brings the swing to her hips

If you see her
walk on by
Buddy, you'll need her
every night
hasten your pace, sir
don't take your time
you'll lose your marbles
like I lost mine

feel sorry for me, Sport
I caugh her alone
now she's loved me in half
she floated on through like a casual ghost
like The Devil in a jaunty hat

It's 4 AM on a Tuesday night
work is just hours away
my car is on the other side of town
because I just had to play

She only drinks hot liquor
even when it's hot outside
it gets into the blood much quicker
that's what she believes
it's what she prescribes
hot liquor
brings the red to her lips
hot liquor
brings the swing to her hips
