1 Barfly

She drinks like a chimney an’ she smokes like a fish

Looks at me cross-eyed an’ she says Who’s this?

I say I’m your honey-pie, you’re my dish

Let’s light a candle an’ make a wish

We ain’t moanin’ an’ we ain’t grievin’

We’re here in Las Vegas Honey but we ain’t leavin’

So light me up an’ pour me another

You be my sister, I’ll be your brother

We’ll take a look but our eyes won’t linger

We’ll hold our teacups with our little finger

Don’t be a doubter, be a believer

Honey we’re in Las Vegas an’ we ain’t gonna leave ‘er

I’ll take care o’ your would-be lovers

I’m sly an’ a spy I work under cover

I got a bottle an’ a good left hook

When it comes to scrappin’ Baby I wrote the book

So come on get it straight now, don’t be misconceivin’

We live in Las Vegas Honey an’ we ain’t leavin’

Ain’t nobody gonna steal our thunder

We kin come from over an’ kin come from under

Pass that beer an’ a shot o’ tequila

You kin call me mate an’ I’ll call you Sheila

I ain’t no liar, ain’t no mean deceiver

We live in Las Vegas Honey an’ we ain’t gonna leave ‘er

So pour me another an’ light me up

You be my kitten, I’ll be your pup

We’ll eat Purina an’ drink Jim Beam

Kitty cat soft an’ junkyard mean

We’ll hit the tables ‘cause we got the fever

Honey we’re in Las Vegas Lord an’ we ain’t gonna leave ‘er
