But You Still Say...

I drink too much.

Have you seen an elephant with a stripy trunk?

Have you ever seen a giraffe that looks like a skunk?

Have you ever seen a bird that flies upside down and

have ever seen a centipede that dresses up like a clown?

I have, you have, but you still.....

say I drink too much!

Did you ever find a fiver and say it was a pound?

Did you ever crave the silence whilst making all the sound?

Did you ever make a fire whilst putting out the flame and

did you ever shout at cheats and then throw away the game?

I have, you have, but you still.....

say I drink too much!

Have I ever been a reindeer dressed up and having fun?

Have I ever been a burger dressed in a burger bun?

Have I ever been a model and waxed until I bled and then

just let carry on shaving everything below my head!

I have, you have, but you still....

say I drink too much!

Well I have seen an elephant that was striped up and to his tail

And the smell of the giraffe that climbed upon a whale.

I let the women wax me for a fiver and a pound and all the time

I sing and dance as a burger round and round.

I have and you have and we.....

both drink too much!
