Hey Bartender
Greetings to you bartender, how you do'in today
I'd like a vodka on the rocks, the house brand is OK
I've never been in here before, this place is really nice
If you've got a minute, I could use some advice
I came home from work today and much to my surprise
My live in girlfriend had moved out, her love for me just lies
You'd best hit me again my friend, make this one a double
I just don't know what to do except try and drown my trouble
My boss told me today that he would soon be cutting back
But he didn't say specifically it was me he's going to sack
If you were me, what would you do if your boss showed you the door
Better fix another drink, I could use a little more
Oops, I just schpilled the pretshels, I think the bowls too schmall
Hey, no sweat, I'll pick them up, it'sh no big deal at all
And while I'm at it barkeep, pleasch pour me just one more
When I went to get the pretshels, I knocked mine on the floor
What did you shay, you cut me off, who do you shink you are
Well, let me tell you shomething pal, I don't need thish bar
Just take this shtool and shove it, I don't need thish anymore
I'll take my bishness elschwhere, onsch I find the door
