 Oh sentimental drinkers

 Sing songs that end in fights about fights

And they’ll swear to you that they just can’t help it

That painting of your bed, it must out

No mention of a spot, tantrum or tooth rot

For your coterie of stars

Your barrel of charlatans

Hold their heads in the morning glare

 And dedicate it all to you

 Yeah dedicate it all to you
