I've perpetrated another song, and as always I'm looking for honest opinions and comments. Unctuous flattery is also accepted.
1. I write and record under the stage name Hopalong Ginsberg. This is to prevent sex-crazed groupies from hunting me down IRL and having their way with me. Unfortunately, it works.
2. This song calls for a rich, resonant Country voice. I ain't got one. Such is life on Volg.
3. You can download an MP3 of the song by clicking here or here. Click here too, while you're at it.

At 2 AM I said Id love you
Until the Trump of Doom.
But now the dawn is breaking
And my head is aching
And why are you still in my room?
Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,
Im your tall, dark, romantic hunk.
But the fact of the matter is, my honey,
I only love you when Im drunk.
When Captain Morgan introduced us
The chemistry just wasnt there,
But Jose Cuervo took your side
And you became my lady fair.
We rode the Night Train to my place,
Johnnie Walker showed you to my bunk,
A little later I said I love you
Do you think that maybe I was drunk?
At 2 AM I said Id love you
Until the Trump of Doom.
But now the dawn is breaking
And my head is aching
And why are you still in my room?
Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,
Im your tall, dark, romantic hunk.
But there ain't no doubt about it, darling,
I only love you when Im drunk.
On our wedding day I stood at the altar
With Jimmy Beam as my best man.
Then Two-Buck Chuck slipped the ring on your finger
And that was when it hit the fan.
We honeymooned at Boones Farm, honey,
And everything was going swell.
But then the Mad Dog bit me, I wound up in detox,
And my whole world went to hell.
Im sorry that I have to leave you, honey,
But theres no way we can work it out.
A broken heart can mend with care and time, but in the end
Its my liver that Im worried about.
When Ive got a happy glow Im the nicest guy you know
But theres no sober without S.O.B.
I gotta find myself a doll that dont require ethanol
To tell me shes the one for me.
At 2 AM I said Id love you
Until the Trump of Doom.
But now the dawn is breaking
And my head is aching
And why are you still in my room?
Yeah, slip a little Jack Black in me,
Im your tall, dark, romantic hunk.
But there ain't no doubt about it, sweetie,
I only love you when Im drunk.
I only love you when Im drunk.
I only love you when Im...
Hopalong Ginsberg is back in the saddle!
[FReepmail me to get on or off the Hopalong Ginsberg Ping List.]
....Did you meet her at the Waffle House?
No, but that’s a good idea for a song.
lol True.
You could have it as one of the tracks on their ‘juke box’.(or whatever they call them now) lol
Love it.
Thanks!
Great old fashioned country.
If you need a “B” side, I can see if I can find some lyrics I wrote years ago. “I don’t want to love you forever, just rent you for tonight”
Re your lyrics: LOL!
Thanks for the kind words - I was trying very hard to get a old-fashioned country sound-and-feel. It’s a shame that GarageBand doesn’t have a country fiddle patch.
But, did she promise to “love you long time”?
lol
Please put me on the song list. That was great.
Very good song.
When are you appearing at the Grsnd Ole Olpry?
Awesome lyrics
And that is why liberals will never know as much as a single day of sobriety.
It’s country, but not that country. ;)
I got drunk reading the lyrics.
Thank you kindly.
I only love you when I’m drunk...
What’s your name again?
