Verse 1:

                      
        You know my baby     she won't let me in
                            
        I've got a few pennies     I'm gonna buy myself a bottle of gin
                                           /       Gdim7

Verse 2:

        You know I work so hard all the day long
        Everything I try to do   seem to always turn out wrong
        That's why I wanna stop by   on my way home and say
        (Let's go get stoned)   Now let me tell you one more thing

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

                   
        Ain't no harm     to have a little taste
                              
        But don't lose your cool     and start messing up the man's place
                   
        Ain't no harm     to take a little nip
                                            
        But don't you fall down     and bust your lip  mmm, no, no

[repeat chorus to fade:]

        3: I think everybody wants to come on and go with me
        4: I'm gonna tell you one more time what I'm gonna do
        5: I think you ought to say it one more time
