Roscoe Had Too Much To Drink
Roscoe Had Too Much to Drink
By Elton Camp
Roscoe drank so much that he felt unsteady
To drive home in his car, he just wasn't ready
"If I should get caught by the town police again,
The case, with the judge, I'll never hope to win."
So he left his car parked out back of the saloon
Roscoe was headed home on a bus very soon
It was good he did, for down the road a mile
Cop reaction at a roadblock made him smile
They were looking for people drunk it's true
But the large bus they simply waved through
At home, his wife met him angrily at the door
"Shame! You've been drunk like this before."
"This time I came by bus instead of our car.
To risk wrecking it again would be bizarre."
"I don't think that you have a right to fuss.
But I admit I don't recall stealing that bus."
