Gin / Wild Lyrics


Burrs
[‘hahahahaha! Hey! Let’s get this party goin’!
No! I mean really get things goin’ -
I want you to unsnap those garters and those starched lapels.
It is time to get witty and wild -
it is time to get low -
It is time for’gin. ‘‘]

If I go mean.
If I go mad.
Blame it on the Gin.
If i go (fbfbfbfbfb)
If I go (eeyeyyeyy)
Blame it on the gin.

Don’t gimme no whisky
Cuz I need more than booze.
Just pour me the real stuff
So I can taste my blues.

I need my party to begin.
My party to begin.
My party!

If you go soft
And tell the truth
Blame it on the gin.
If you hard and gotta blow
Blame it on the
Blame it on the ([paaah] you know)

If you find yourself
in some precarious situation
wondering who the hell’s hallucination
Am I in’

Don’t look at me.
Blame it on the-
Blame it on the-
Blame it on the-

Gin gin gin gin
Gin gin gin

Beautiful and blonde, just like you. He
Beat her. With the heel of his shoe. ‘Till

know it all, life goes and takes a bit bite
outta your ass. And I’ve got the scars to
prove it.
