lyrics

Polly Jean said to red John Fel baby lets go out and get us a drink.
I got a brand new pair of pants and a cowboy shirt I’ve been waitin’ to wear all week.
Scotty P. rolled in with some Japanese girls that he met on the afternoon flight.
Hey Mr. DJ go and put a record on so everybody can dance all night.

CHORUS

Down at the cocktail bar,
Down at the cocktail bar,
Around the corner not too far,
Down at the cocktail…

Take a look at Mike finally making a move on that blonde in hoop earrings.
Said he’s telling bad jokes and singin’ along, born to run like Bruce Springsteen.
Mike the butcher got wasted and started a fight with a trainer looking like RuPaul.
Said she pulled a meat cleaver from her alligator purse and chased him to the bathroom stall…

(CHORUS)

Yeah Christopher Walken and Harvey Kietel used to come here back in ’89.
Said my ex-girlfriend was at a party with them and they were drinkin’ Colt 45.
Bernadette’s lightin’ up another cigarette, Jim and Tony are cheatin at pool.
I said everybody here just want a good time, nobody cares about looking cool.

(CHORUS x2)

Anybody seen the keys to my car?
Down at the cocktail…
