I guess it's somethin' in my brain
I need whiskey to ease the pain
But it's early in the mornin'
And I'm feelin' bad again

But if you ever loved me
You'll go easy on me now
Fix me up a cup of coffee
And in a while I'll come around

I think I'll spend the dog-food money
But he'll love me just the same
But if you really love me baby
Help me scrape the mucus off my brain

It's a shame when morning hurts
But I've seen bad and I've seen worse
It's the nature of my being
I took some money from your purse

Know that Frenchman loves to party
And I know he's not to blame
But the way you're lookin' at me, baby
I just can't help but feel the shame

I think I'll spend the dog-food money
But he'll love me just the same
But if you really love me, baby
Help me scrape the mucus off my brain

But if you really love me, baby
Help me scrape the mucus off my brain
