[Spoken intro]
"Please welcome Boy Blonde performing Tom Lodewyck's tune, Couldn't Help Myself!"
[Verse 1]
Well I woke up this morning
With the sunlight in my eyes
My head was pounding
And my throat was dry.
I opened up my cabinet
And much to my surprise:
[Chorus]
There was a six-pack on the rack,
A bottle on the shelf.
My eyes grew wide, I almost died,
I couldn't help myself!
How long it was since I was buzzed,
I really couldn't tell.
At the bar or in my car,
It must've been at twelve!
[Verse 2]
Well I went down to the bank
To make a withdrawal
I found that it was empty -
I guess I spent it all!
Went to my neighbor's
And guess what I saw:
[Chorus]
There was a six-pack on the rack,
A bottle on the shelf.
My eyes grew wide, I almost died,
I couldn't help myself!
How long it was since I was buzzed,
I really couldn't tell.
At the bar or in my car,
It must've been at twelve!
[Verse 3]
Now I woke up in jail
And wondered what I'd done.
I asked them for bail
But they wouldn't give me none.
I asked what's for dinner
And my mind must've come undone...
'Cause...
[Chorus]
There was a six-pack on the rack,
A bottle on the shelf.
My eyes grew wide, I almost died,
I couldn't help myself!
How long it was since I was buzzed,
I really couldn't tell.
At the bar or in my car,
It must've been at twelve!
[Verse 4]
Please, Lord have mercy
For I know just what I'd do:
Stay out late playing poker
And guzzling down them brews!
I come home to Bertha,
And you know what I go though...
But...
[Chorus]
There was a six-pack on the rack,
A bottle on the shelf.
My eyes grew wide, I almost died,
I couldn't help myself!
How long it was since I was buzzed,
I really couldn't tell.
At the bar or in my car,
It must've been at twelve!
[Soft ending]
There was a six-pack on the rack,
A bottle on the shelf.
My eyes grew wide, I almost died,
I couldn't help myself!
How long it was since I was buzzed,
I really couldn't tell.
At the bar or in my car,
It must've been at twelve!
