(Music and Lyrics by Dave Malloy)
ALL Oh evan williams You dirty-faced, scruffy-kneed boy
BRENT When i was poor and lonely I’d put you in a jelly jar Put you in the pocket of my old trench coat And sneak you into the bar And now i got plenty of money But that doesn’t mean i don’t love you When the endtimes fall and the zombies crawl I‘m gonna drink you out of my shoe
ALL I like to lose my mind Get blurry sloppy boozy and blind Like to put my hand on a pretty girl’s knee And i got four dear friends to help me
Oh jameson You dignified, righteous young man
BRITTAIN I don’t care much for god No matter what set of rules you’ve got Protestant this and-a catholic that To me it’s just diddly-squat But I love a good rebellion And I love to hear a fiddle slide So when the rebels croon ‘bout the rising moon I’m drinking right there on jamie’s side
ALL I like to lose my mind Get blurry sloppy boozy and blind Like to put my hand on a pretty girl’s knee And I got four dear friends to help me
Oh, maker’s mark You sweet little temptress you
DAVE I remember you and my daddy Sitting in an easy chair He’d break open your wax and pour a finger or two Then sit in the dark and just stare And I know that he was thinkin’ ‘bout something Maybe something sad from long ago And when he’d tuck me in, with a sad little grin I’d think maybe I don’t wanna know
ALL I like to lose my mind Get blurry sloppy boozy and blind Like to put my hand on a pretty girl’s knee
BRITTAIN & GELSEY Pretty boy’s knee
ALL And i got four dear friends to help me
Oh, lagavulin You lovely lady of the lochs
GELSEY There’s a forest burning somewhere And the moon is red as blood But then i look in your eyes and the fairies come And i’m squishing my toes in the mud I’m dancing on the stones of the oracle I’m kissing in the waterfall I’m under your spell, in a wishing well I’m lost and i don’t care at all
ALL I like to lose my mind Get blurry sloppy boozy and blind I like to put my hand on a pretty girl’s knee
DAVE & BRENT Pretty boy’s knee
ALL And i got four dear friends to help me Four dear friends to help me Four dear friends to help me
