Alcoholic kind of mood

Lose my clothes, lose my lube

Looking out for number one
Different partner every night

So narcotic outta sight
What a gas
What a beautiful ass

Verse 2
G G 
 
Kind of buzz that lasts for days
C C 
 
Had some help from insect ways
Comes across all shy and coy
G G 
 
Just another nancy boy
Woman, man or modern monkey
C C 
 
Just another happy junkie
Fifty pounds, press my button
Going down

Does his makeup in his room

Douse himself with cheap perfume

Gotta help him find a wife
We're a couple
When our bodies double
