MIXED DRINKS

Mixed Drinks

While sitting at home all alone
A voice from the darkness began to say
Let's go party let's go play
I looked around to see who spoke
And Low and behold
It was my friends' rum and coke
But they weren't alone for in the
Corner, with a sly grin were my other two
Friends Jack and gin
All looking to get me in trouble again
One had my coat, the other my keys
They lead me to the Car,
All the while ignoring my pleas
Six hours later, waking up in my cell
Feeling kinder of lost and confused as hell
I looked around for my friends
Not surprising I was alone again
