Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh real good liquor
Ohh make you clumsy
Ohh make you throw up
Well...my Pop had a party at the house one night
on the last day of school and the food is all right.
We had a speaker on the roof and a speaker on the hill
with four turntables and a reel to reel.
All the pretty women came, no ugly chicks
all the stars came from the Ritz.
The people eat the chicken
and they drink up all the liquor
and they turn into a big
Screwdriver
Well...my uncle is a 'Holic'
and he down a pound of Whiskey!
With an Eight for a chaser,
spit it on the bouncer
kicked his ass
and he lost a girlfriend
with a big soul kitchen
Now he's layin' in the gutter
like a skid row bum
Skid row bum style
Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh Scotch and 800
Ohh make you scratch the record
Ohh burn the spaghetti
Well...I came home from school on a Monday.
I missed the radio reggae show.
I felt like a rude boy,
I could have slammed me a poseur
"You know" Well...
My uncle called me a punk rocker in the doorway
as he dribbled on the table
when he started to say,
"You're not a rude boy, you're a lazy boy,
you should make like a tree and leave
Make like a library and book,
Make like a roach and bug off"
Ohh Alcoholic
you can't drive
Before you crash and go to jail.
