Lyrics
- Bart (speaking):
- Sing us a song, Sharry Bobbins.
- Lisa (speaking):
- Yes, sing us a song!
- Sharry Bobbins:
- I've been singing you songs all day, I'm not a bloody jukebox!
(pause) Oh, all right.
- In front of a tavern,
- Flat on his face,
- A boozehound named Barney
- Is pleading his case.
- Barney:
- Buy me a beer,
- Two bucks a glass.
- Come on, help me,
- I'm freezing my ass!
- Buy me brandy,
- A snifter of wine.
- Who am I kidding?
- I'll drink turpentine.
- Moe:
- Move it, ya drunk,
- Or I'll blast your rear end!
- Barney:
- I've found two bucks.
- Moe:
- Then come in, my friend.
- Sharry Bobbins:
- And so, let us leave,
- On this heartwarming scene.
- Bart:
- Can I be a boozehound?
- Homer:
- Not till you're fifteen.
