i guess it's somethin' in mu brain
i need whiskey, ease the pain
but it's early in the mornin'
and i'm feelin' bad again

but if you ever loved me
you'll go easy on me now
fix me up a cup of coffee
and in a while i'll come around

i think i spent the dog-food money
but he'll love me just the same
if you really love me baby
help me scrape the mucus off my brain

(solos)

it's a shame when morning hurts
i've seen bad and i've seen worse
it's the nature of my bein'
i took some money from your purse

n'that Frenchman loves to party
and i know he's not to blame
but the way you're lookin' at me baby
i just can't help but feel the shame

i think i spent the dog-food money
but he'll love me just the same
and if you really love me baby
help me scrape the mucus off my brain

and if you really love me baby
help me scrape the mucus off my brain
