Cheap Tequila
(R Derringer)
Still Alive and Well (1973)


Intro

(  ) x4


Verse 1

              
Cheap perfume, sweet perfume 
                                
The lonely smell that fills the room 
                       
Roses in your low-rent tomb 
                          
A picture made of cheap perfume


Verse 2

            
Sad old rag, sad young hag 
                            
Clothes that hide the early sag 
                  
Sequins on a lamé bag 
                       
The sparkle of a sad old rag


Chorus
 
              
Drink up and be happy 
            
Live just for today 
             
Drown in cheap tequila 
                 
And flush yourself away
              
Flush yourself away


Verse 3

                       
Worn-out dreams, washed-up schemes 
                      
Blueprint for a death machine 
                           
Scarred wrists on a movie queen 
                      
A picture of a worn out dream


Chorus
 
              
Drink up and be happy 
            
Live just for today 
             
Drown in cheap tequila 
                 
And flush yourself away
              
Flush yourself away


Solo (over verse chords)


Chorus

              
Drink up and be happy 
            
Live just for today 
             
Drown in cheap tequila 
                 
And flush yourself away 
              
Drink up and be happy 
            
Live just for today 
             
Drown in cheap tequila 
                 
And flush yourself away
             
Flush yourself away
           
Flush yourself away
