A Lot to Drink About Lyrics


Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed
That the news is all bad
I think it's time for a song about that.Up on the East side of Manhattan,
They're still dancing with the stars.
While over in the sub prime city,
It's getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There's too much going wrong.
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
and write a high speed drinking song.Millionaires losin' everything.
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
There goes the yacht, there goes the rolls,
But, you get to keep your wife!
And don't forget the automakers
swimming up stream like a trout.
They let the shi* hit the fan
and then they made a plan
We've got a lot to drink about.It's the price of oil,

the war of the spoils.
Here's your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We've got a lot to drink about.Now, Madoff made off with all the money.
And his clients are down to skunk weed.
Repeat after me, it's so easy to see
We're only talking simple greed.
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold.
While Bush and Cheney ain't around
and all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
from Key West to London town.With the price of oil,
war of the spoils.
Here's your bucket for the big bailout.
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We've got a lot to drink about.So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,
pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
That loud mouth soup
can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I'll have some!Well the family devalues
and little children plan their net worth
and the truth wherever it's hiding,
can't be found on Google Earth.
Citibank's buying jets with our money.
I wanna flog 'em with a buggy whip.
Let's hope Barack and Joe won't let the volcano blow
and patch the hole in our sinking ship.There's the price of oil,
war of the spoils.
Here's your bucket for the big bailout.
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We've got a lot to drink about.Recession, Aggression, Depression good God
CNN keeps bummin' me out.
I can't take another doomsday minute.
Got a lot to drink, a lot to think,
a lot to drink about.God bless America

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."

Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list. His book A Pirate Looks At Fifty went straight to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller non-fiction list, making him one of seven authors in that list's history to have reached No. 1 on both the fiction and non-fiction lists. The other six authors who have accomplished this are Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace, Dr. Seuss and Mitch Albom. He also co-wrote two children's books, Jolly Mon and Trouble Dolls, with his eldest daughter, Savannah Jane Buffett.

"A Salty Piece of Land", was released on November 30, 2004, and included a CD single of the same title. The book was a New York Times best seller soon after its release.

His latest book, "Swine Not," hit bookshelves on May 13th. It's a colorful tale about a family that lives in a posh New York hotel while covertly smuggling in their pet pig named Rumpy.

On Jan 25, 2011, he did an unintentional stage dive whilst touring Australia. Thankfully, the good Mr. Buffett is a resilient bloke and was released from hospital the following day and doing fine.
