Lyrics

Sharry Bobbins:

It's eight o'clock, children. Time for bed.

Lisa:

But we're not sleepy.

Bart:

Sing us a song, Sharry Bobbins.

Lisa:

Yes, sing us a song!

Sharry Bobbins:

I've been singing you songs all day, I'm not a bloody jukebox! 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.
