With a Twist
Super California twist
Of lemon in large doses.
Eating great big mounds of it
Can cure your halitosis.
Just don’t mix much gin with it,
Or you can get sclerosis.
Take precautions to avoid,
From one who’s in the know, sis!
Um diddle, diddle diddle, not gonna lie
Um diddle, diddle diddle, not gonna lie
Oh, like a fish to water,
Started drink as just a lad.
Tick the nose and light the eye,
And make the heart feel glad!
But after twenty years or so,
It nearly drove me mad.
Now it’s been sixteen wonder years,
Since then, not one drink had!
Um diddle, diddle diddle, not gonna lie
Um diddle, diddle diddle, not gonna lie
I think that you now get the gist
Of how the story goes.
To end with a redemptive bit
amidst a tale of woe.
They say the pull of booze is strong,
inflicting pain and strife.
It's time you cast your cares on Him,
'cuz He can change a life!
