WHEN IT RAINS, I POUR
WHEN IT RAINS, I POUR, I DRINK, I DRUNK
THEN I TRIP, I SLIP, I FALL KER-PLUNK
THEN I FIND MYSELF IN A REAL BIG FUNK
WHEN IT RAINS, I POUR, I DRINK, I DRUNK
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN ON A COLD DARK NIGHT
WHEN THINGS ARE BAD AND NOT GOING RIGHT
WHEN THINGS KEEP GOIN' AGAINST THE PLAN
THEN I POP A TOP ON A COLD CAN
WHEN I NEED SOMETHING TO GET THROUGH IT ALL
THEN I NEED SOMETHING ICE COLD AND TALL
WHEN I NEED SOMETHING TO FORGET WHAT'S WRONG
THEN I NEED SOMETHING MORE STIFF AND STRONG
WHEN THE WORLD IS HARD AND THINGS ARE TOUGH
WHEN LIFE IS JUST TOO DARN ROUGH
WHEN I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO GET THROUGH IT ALL
THEN IT'S TIME TO POUR MORE ALCOHOL
