Please Mrs. Henry
Well, I've already had two beers, I'm ready for the broom
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you take me to my room?
I'm a good ol' boy but I've been sniffin' too many eggs
Talkin' to too many people, drinkin' too many kegs
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you take me to your dad?
I can drink like a fish, I can crawl like a snake
I can bite like a turkey, I can slam like a drake
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, don't crowd me, lady, or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy and tonight I am blue
I'm a thousand years old and I'm a generous bomb
I'm T-boned and punctured but I'm known to be calm
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, I'm startin' to drain, my stool's gonna squeak
If I walk too much farther my crane's gonna leak
Look, Mrs. Henry, there's only so much I can do
Why don't you look my way and pump me a few?
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you take me to my room?
I'm a good ol' boy but I've been sniffin' too many eggs
Talkin' to too many people, drinkin' too many kegs
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you take me to your dad?
I can drink like a fish, I can crawl like a snake
I can bite like a turkey, I can slam like a drake
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, don't crowd me, lady, or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy and tonight I am blue
I'm a thousand years old and I'm a generous bomb
I'm T-boned and punctured but I'm known to be calm
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, I'm startin' to drain, my stool's gonna squeak
If I walk too much farther my crane's gonna leak
Look, Mrs. Henry, there's only so much I can do
Why don't you look my way and pump me a few?
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please!
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
