The wolf's at the door
And I hear talk of war
Somebody break out the booze
Let's grab some hooch
Let's get goofy and smooch
Forget all this sob sister news
The world's getting lousy
So let's go get drowsy
Yes, right here and nowsy
Let's bow-wow these blues
The stars look poetic
The mood's copacetic
Somebody break out the booze
Crank up your jalopy
And then we'll get sloppy
Somebody break out the booze
We'll call up our bookie
And say to him
"Cookie, looky, we've nothing to lose"
The times ain't so jake
Every bum's on the take
Got no cake, got no steak
Just this make in my shoes
The moon's lookin' cheesy
Your eyes say, "I'm easy"
Somebody break out the booze
Oh, it's swell to be alive
Oh, it's the Real McCoy
Oh, give a yell, we'll survive
Waiter, who needs a mug
Gimme a bottle or jug
The government's awful
So let's be unlawful
Somebody break out the booze
Throw out the compass
And let's make a rumpus
Bump us off all those taboos
This town's gettin' screwy
So let's get kablooey
It's true if we do get boo-hoo-by
We lose
Let's make it strange, hell
Let's get naked and tell
Somebody break out
Somebody take out
Somebody break out the booze
