Water on the Rocks
There was once a grocery store
It was run by a man named Delbert
Delbert was a kind man but loose in the head
He liked to watch Jeopardy while smoking cigars
Pam was the cashier
She wore satin and had a thick West Virginia Accent
She was quite a stickler for the rules you know
And she liked to drink cheap wine on Tuesdays
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
If I wasn't you
And you weren't me
I'd bind your insides
No grocery fee
Douglas was the janitor
He was as old as your mother was at 85
He didn't sweep too good and slept in the back
But they kept him around for his old man charm
Billy was the bagger
He got good grades in school and joined the scouts
He had a nice girlfriend they'd get sundaes together
They spent a whole weekend in Bolivia, encouraging total socialist takeover of the Government and the complete conquest of South America by Green Bonobos, who'd eat The flesh of the Famous Bolivian Yaks
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Eat a bag of raisins
Bite another fox
If I wasn't you
And you weren't me
Meats on the menu
What marvelous bees
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
If I wasn't you
And you weren't me
I'd bind your insides
No grocery fee
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
It was run by a man named Delbert
Delbert was a kind man but loose in the head
He liked to watch Jeopardy while smoking cigars
Pam was the cashier
She wore satin and had a thick West Virginia Accent
She was quite a stickler for the rules you know
And she liked to drink cheap wine on Tuesdays
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
If I wasn't you

Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
Rain on the mountain
Water on the rocks
Five-dollar ketchup
Skinny as a fox
