The Jolly Rogers - Elixir lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Elixir lyrics]
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
A rainy Monday night they settled on a cozy
Inn with clientele uptight
But we all knew the formula to
Fill the place with cheer
Pint after pint we cured them all
With frosty mugs of beer!
And our Elixir, it was a sixer
The foundation of every social mixer
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a drinkin' on
A dandy Tuesday night
We met these lovеly ladies who
Made us feel alright
In the company of mеn we drank some whiskey
Rum and gin but that's the wrong solution if
With ladies you want in
And out Elixir, it was a spritzer
Don't laugh this sparkling beverage
Is a fixture we've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
A desperate Wednesday night
We'd spent so much lager that
Our coin was running tight
So little cash on hand
We thought we were out of luck
We'd need a plan to
Maximize our drinking bang-for-buck!
And our Elixir, it was hard liquor
Nothing quite like it to
Get you drunker quicker
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
A dauntless Thursday night
We tried most other alcohols and
They were feeling trite the barkeep says
"If you feel brave I've got a drink for you
But it might blind or kill you
Or remove an old tattoo"
And our Elixir, it was a mixture
Don't know what, but my tongue has a blister
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
An angry Friday night
Full of piss and vinegar and
Spoiling for a fight
So we found a small speakeasy
That crowed it's mixology
But we opted for a barroom
Brawl with no apology
And our Elixir, was punching hipsters
Knock them out
Then make time with their sultry sisters
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
A randy Saturday night
When we asked these girls to join us
They rebuffed us with a slight
The ladies didn't swoon at us
When we first got started
But they were swaying dangerously
When we all departed
And our Elixir, that'll fix her
Just add alcohol and then
You'll be betwixt her
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
The pirates went a-drinkin' on
A shameful Sunday night
Seven nights of drinking left
Us feeling quite contrite
We realized our actions ranged from
Bad to flat depraved
So we started looking for a
Way to get us saved
And our Elixir (and our Elixer)
It wasn't scripture (it wasn't scripture)
It was grog followed by grog
Just for a kicker (just for a kicker)
We've learned that drinkin'
(learned that drinkin')
It sure beats thinkin' (sure beats thinkin')
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all (cures them all)!
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all (cures them all)!
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all (ah hah)!
A rainy Monday night they settled on a cozy
Inn with clientele uptight
But we all knew the formula to
Fill the place with cheer
Pint after pint we cured them all
With frosty mugs of beer!
And our Elixir, it was a sixer
The foundation of every social mixer
We've learned that drinkin'
It sure beats thinkin'
Life is full of obstacles
The Elixir cures them all!
