He was sittin’ at the bar, sippin’ on a regular Coke
We were drinkin’ and smokin’ and makin’ him the butt of our jokes
We all said, "Man, what happened to you? Why can't you just have a few?"
He said, "I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't"

‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Well, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

A couple of cold ones, and somebody hands me a shot
Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women start lookin’ hot
And pretty soon I'm bummin’ cigarettes and sweet talkin’ some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll, there aren’t no tellin’ where I'll stop

'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Yeah, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

Yep, yep
Hmm, that’s what I'm talking about

Man, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
And they can't get me off the karaoke machine
The more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink
