“Painting the Town, No Taxi Needed”

When the sun goes down,

The night begins in my favorite town.

Time to paint the whole town red;

I am going to paint it from my dilapidated bed.

I got beer, brandy, and a bottle of wine.

No food to eat, lots to drink, I will be fine.

I will drink it all before the night is through;

Mix it up and then go to spew.

As I said, the sun is going down.

This night has begun, but not in town.

I am painting the town a bright color red;

All over my bathroom, and old sheeted bed.

Tomorrow morning is coming soon;

My bed is spinning, please stop my room.

I must be drunk, like a skunk, lost in a forest.

Cause my clothes no longer look their best.

I spewed so hard I lost my false teeth.

I will find them next year, on somebody’s wreath!

Oh my, the town is all red;

I am ready to pass out on the bed.

That is, it for me;

I can no longer see.

Am I home?

Goodnight; my mind is out of sorts.
