Money's tight, times are hard
Just send my dadgum Christmas card
To Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge
There's no way it could be the way that I'm living
Or all the Wild Turkey I drank at Thanksgiving
I didn't think the dancing was cause for such a fuss
But somehow it sure enough was
No, I didn't mean to make everybody mad
I just thought there was a good time to be had
Now they trying to make it out like I'm the one
A legendary loser country barroom bum
Money's tight
Times are hard
Just send my dadgum Christmas card
To Dee's Country Cocktail
Won't you please just go ahead and send my mail down to Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge
Money's tight times are hard
Just send my dadgum Christmas card
To Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge
Got my phone cut off can't call anybody
Guess things ain't as bad as they could be
One forward gear left in my transmission
Honkytonk-itis, it's a hell of a condition
If things don't take a turn for the better
Won't be any place to send me a letter
Way it's going now I might be the one
Legendary loser country barroom bum
Money's tight
Times are hard
Just send my dadgum Christmas card
To Dee's Country Cocktail
Won't you please just go ahead and send my mail down to Dee's County Cocktail Lounge
Money's tight times are hard
Just send my dadgum Christmas card
To Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge
