officer

 please don't haul me in

 though i'm drunk again

 i can explain

i swear to you

 for a week i have

 been completely dry

 until tonight

he's been such a good example

everyhing he's done for me

i couldn't bear to let him down

monday night

 brother sat me down

very graciously

 and explained

if i'm going to help you

i must make it very clear

brother that i love you

but certainly i hate your sin

so you see you can't arrest me

i swore i'd be careful not to

further shame the family name
