Drank away the rest of the day
Wonder what my liver would say
Drink, that's all you canBlackened days with their bigger gales
Blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Listen, that's all you canAh, but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you builtSick and tired of what to say
No one listens, anyway
Sing, that's all you canRambling years of lousy luck
You miss the smell of burning turf
Dream, that's all you canAh, but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloatSingled out for who you are
It takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you canFilthy suits with bigot ears
Hide behind their own worst fears
Live, that's all you canIt's all you can
It's all you can doNo matter where I put my head
I wake up feeling sound again
Dream, it's all you canTomorrow smells of less decay
The flowers quick just bloom and fray
Be thankful, that's all you canAh, but don't, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloatAh no, don't, oh no, don't sink the boat
Oh, that you built, that you built to keep afloatA ripe old age, a ripe old age
I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am
I'm ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, heyA ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, that's what I am
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey
The best I can
