Whiskey
I thought I was old fashioned
Til Manhattan threw a twist
Now I'm speakin' easy
As I work my way down fifth
I'm a callin' and McCallen
The ringin' just won't stop
Tossed around the tumbler
Landed on the rocks
So who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Well a Dewars or a dontcha (Oh please do)
Want some comfort from the south
Put the Bulleit in the bottle boys
Gonna drown our sorrows out
Heaven's Door is open
Redemptions on the way
Gonna find the smoothest ride
Sailing on a Paper Plane
So tell me who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Scotch is a whiskey that is smoky
Bourbon is the caramel on your tongue
Rye brings the spice of grass and pepper
What's your pleasure, gonna pour a heavy one
So, who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Yeah who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Was it Jenny, Joan or Jane
Til Manhattan threw a twist
Now I'm speakin' easy
As I work my way down fifth
I'm a callin' and McCallen
The ringin' just won't stop
Tossed around the tumbler
Landed on the rocks
So who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Well a Dewars or a dontcha (Oh please do)
Want some comfort from the south
Put the Bulleit in the bottle boys
Gonna drown our sorrows out
Heaven's Door is open
Redemptions on the way
Gonna find the smoothest ride
Sailing on a Paper Plane
So tell me who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Scotch is a whiskey that is smoky
Bourbon is the caramel on your tongue
Rye brings the spice of grass and pepper
What's your pleasure, gonna pour a heavy one
So, who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Yeah who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Been searchin' all day in vain
Who put the whiskey in the wine drawer
Was it Johnnie, Jack or James
Was it Jenny, Joan or Jane
