Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Pop a top again I've just got time for one more round Set 'em up my friend Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down I'd like for you to listen to A joke I heard today From a woman who said she was through And calmly walked away I tried to smile and did awhile But it felt so out of place Did you ever hear of a clown with teardrops Streaming down his face Pop a top again I think, I'll have another round Another one my friend Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down All to me is misery And here I'm wasting time Cause a row of fools on a row of stools Is not what's on my mind But then you see her leaving me Is not what I prefer So it's either here, a drinking beer Or home remembering her Pop a top again I think, I'll have another round Another one my friend Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
