On the Way to the Bottom
(Shel Silverstein)On the way to the bottom I met an old friend of mineHe said "Buddy, I do believe this is the end of the line"I said "The end of the line? Shoot, come on and have another roundAnd if we're headin' for the bottom we still got a long way down"On the way to the bottom we make a lot of stopsAnd we'd meet a lot of fools bustin' their hopes on the way to the topPass me another bottle and turn down the lightsForget about tomorrow, babe we're gonna rumble tonightI'll wear my low heeled boots you'll wear your taffeta gownAnd if we're heading for the bottom we'll go laughing all the way downOn the way to the bottom I met an ol' girl of mineShe said "Honey, I'm scared, won't you love me one more time?"I said "One more time? Shoot, about a million moreWe had a whole lotta loving and a whole lot more in store"On the way to the bottom we make a lot of stopsAnd we'd meet a lot of fools bustin' their hopes on the way to the topPass me another bottle and turn down the lightsForget about tomorrow, babe we're gonna rumble tonightI'll wear my low heeled boots you'll wear your taffeta gownAnd if we're heading for the bottom we'll go laughing all the way down...(c) 1975 Tro-Essex Music Ltd.
