Teen​-​Age Drinking Song

from Striving For A New Tomorrow by David P. Smith

/

lyrics

Once I drank a mickey of Smirnoff in about seven minutes
crouching in the bushes of the hospital grounds
I chased it with a can of C Plus
Then I went to the high school dance
and when that liquor hit me
I professed my love to a certain girl
we'd been friends for a while but she wasn't inclined
towards a fuzzy-headed acne-bitten
liquor sodden fella

A lot of people at the dance were drunk
including this one major babe
she was sitting in the bleachers slumped
her head held between her hands
the fabric of her dress stretched between her knees
formed a small basin containing the contents of her stomach

Well I headed to the cafeteria
where I ate some donuts
later that night I puked in my sleep
my Dad woke me up there was vomit in the sheets
he said "Have you been drinking rye?"
and I said "No"
and he believed me not because he was dumb
but because he wanted to believe his son
