Better Be Some Drinkin’

[Verse 1]
It was a Friday night in a honky-tonk outside of town
They had a four band bill with the cats really layin' it down
Yeah, the dance floor was filled with the boppers really gettin' down
When up comes the owner, a-cussin' and a-wearin' a frown

He said, "I hope you're havin' fun;
I hope that's what you came here for
You've been gettin' five bucks from everyone who walks in the door
But the bartender's lonesome;
He hadn't had a drink to pour
And, the waitress just quit, she said we didn't need her no more."

[Chorus]
This ain't no coffee house ain't got time lemonade
And I couldn't give a damn about whatever was the music you played
And I really don't care about what ever was the deal we made
There better be some drinkin' if you're thinkin' that you're gonna get paid

[Verse 2]
Well, just about then there was a grandma playin' the slots
And the bells started ringin' when Grandma hit the jackpot
Grandma screamed, said, "I'm as lucky as can be!"
So leave the band alone and buy everyone a drink on me

[Chorus]
This ain't no coffee house ain't got time lemonade
And I couldn't give a damn about whatever was the music you played
And I really don't care about what ever was the deal we made
There better be some drinkin' if you're thinkin' that you're gonna get paid

[Verse 3]
So if you came her tonight and all you're gonna do is dance
The waitress and the owner are sure to be losin' their pants
And I was just thinkin' that there really oughta be a law
That if you ain't gonna drink you gotta bring your grandma

[Chorus]
This ain't no coffee house ain't got time lemonade
And I couldn't give a damn about whatever was the music you played
And I really don't care about what ever was the deal we made
There better be some drinkin' if you're thinkin' that you're gonna get paid

[Refrain]
Yeah! There better be some drinkin' if you're thinkin' that you're gonna get paid
You know we all been drinkin' and we're hopin' that we're gonna get laid
