One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beeeeeeeer

Wanna tell you a story
About the house rent blues
I come home one Friday
Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job
She said that don't befront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
And out the door I went

Mongo Jerry - In The Summertime

If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by
