Ballad Contest Entry

At the Bar Again

At the Bar Again

 

Jack and Jim sat at the bar

Sipping whiskey from a jar

Spatting over whose was best

Decided to have a taste-test

 

We are at the bar again

Won’t you just be my friend

Won’t this night finally end

We are at the bar again

(Refrain)

 

Mad Dog entered, down he sat

Stating his drink could beat that

Then his gal, Irish Rose

Said she could judge she supposed

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

Amaretto joined at the bar

Way too drunk to drive her car

Barmaid asked her for her keys

Thinking the gal was a sleaze

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

Rosa and Johnny from AA

Had been there drinking all day

He was looking at the women

Rosa’s anger was a swimmin’

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

In came Bouncer and Rocky

Acting just a bit too cocky

Jack and Jim threatened to swing

What a big fight that would bring

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

The barmaid said, “stop it please”

I’m fed up with all the sleaze

I’ll set up that taste test now

While you stand and take a bow

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

Jars full of whiskey were passed

Until they were emptied at last

Ev’ry one passed out on the floor

Smart barmaid slipped out the door

 

(Repeat refrain)

 

The fight was thus averted

Authorities alerted

They were all dragged out the door

Wearing cuffs not owned before

 

(Repeat refrain)
