The bartender´s working on a late night shift She´s bonka blonds and Bon aims on a midnight drift And the dance band´s playing the same old slam
I´m sinking whiskey and you´re sipping fine wine I don´t know what it is you´re trying to prove Well it should be you but it´s me who can hardly move And I´ve got my reputation lying on the line Come on baby, be a good dog and help the blind Won´t you carry me home (Like a truck, pick me up) You ain´t no lady but you´ve sure got taste in men That head of yours has got you by time and time again My arms and legs are aching and my head´s about to blow And your back´s been breakin´ and I´d hate to spoil the show But I´ve just spent next weeks wages and I´m right out of coin
But you want more and it´s half past four and they want to close the joint But we can´t afford a taxi, and it´s too late for the bus But I´ve been told by friends of mine you´re someone I can trust Won´t you carry me home (Don´t let me lie here in all this beer) You drank all your booze and half of mine I´m bleary eyed and you´re waiting for the sunshine (to come and kill me) Just like the man who threw me on the floor Don´t matter, while I´m down here I might as well try and find the fucking door Excuse me, have you seen my swizzle stick And have you got a plastic bag ´cause I´m gonna be sick I´m dead drunk and heave´n hanging upside down
And you´re getting up and leaving, you think I´m gonna drown Won´t you carry me home
