Spike Jones

Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was an American musician and bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, the band recorded under the title Spike Jones and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada under the title The Musical Depreciation Revue. more »

Gesundheit!
Nosdrovia!
A Saluté!
Skol!
Lochaim!
Prosit!

Give-it me a cocktail
When I am blue and droopy
And then I'll dance a Polka
And make-it lots of whoopee

I work-it in a coal mine
Things are pretty black
But tonight the drinks on me
I cash-it my paycheck

Ev'rybody have a drink
Let's have fun together
I got plenty money
So catch-it double header

Bartender please take care my friends
Drinks for ladies and gents
I got all kinds money
Thirty-two dollars and forty-five cents

Have-it anything you like
Even rum and Coke-it
Just give glass plain whiskey
Rum and Coke it make me choke-it

Fill up your glass with vishnik
We gonna have a great big picnic
Ev'rythink she's in the pink
Ev'rybody have a drink

Ev'rybody have a drink
Don't nobody start trouble
Some smart Alec like a fight
I give it trouble double

I am peaceful citizen
Don't like too drunk or make it
When I go too fast
I pull the emergency brake-it

Dat's the way I like it
Lotsa Polkas, lotsa drinking
Pretty soon you don't watch out
Ev'rybody's stinking

Bartender, why you holler
Oh, I owe you sixteen dollar
Turn on the water in the sink.
Ev'rybody have a drink

(Instrumental to finish with
gargles and other voice noises)
