I think I need another drink
The drink I need's not what you think
I need drinks of sparkling water
That's the drink which I need after
I see the room of jollity
Where most are drinking more than me
What kind of company they keep!
That much wine would put me to sleep!
I see groups, serious drinkers
Expert tasters, genned up thnkers
They swirl, take notes and then they spit
Don't look like they like it a bit
But even when I merely sip
Soon no armomas meet my nose
I must admit I wriggle toes\\
Spill water on my shrimking clothes
I see teens full of loud laughter,
Sharing some jokes, they shout and scream.
Someone says, dear, you've had enough
They're such a killjoy, so it seems
I think I know what I must do
Make a quick dash towards the loo
And then return to drink some more
Some more of what I liked before.
I like a drink full of bubbles
A sparkling wine to pop all troubles
Prosecco, cava or Champagne
Whatever it was, I'll have it again.
