  • Spider Robinson performs his own creation, "The Drunkards Song", from the game Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
    Well, a swell and wealthy relative of mine had up and died
    And I recieved a hundred thousand from the will
    So a friend and I decided to convert this into liquid form
    The better our esophagi to fill
    So we started in the city, had a drink in every shitty
    Little ginmill...that's really quite a few
    Then a cabbie up in Harlem took us clear across the river
    Into Brooklyn, where he joined us in a brew
    Ah. we was weavin' just a trifle as we hit Astoria
    At eighty miles an hour...in reverse
    But it was nothin' to the weavin' that we did as we was leavin'
    And from time to time it got a little worse
    Well there's nothin' like drinkin' up a windfall
    Baby, we were drunker than a monkey with a skinful
    So goddam drunk it was sinful
    And I believe I ain't sober yet
    As we crossed the cty line, we was feeling mighty fine
    Suckin' whiskey and a-whistlin' at the girls
    The next saloon we try, someone wants to punch my eye
    He objected to my long, shaggy curls
    His fist come out of orbit, knocked me right across the bar
    But I was pretty drunk, I didn't really care
    But I was a little disappointed when the coppers hit the joint
    Just as I was makin' my rebuttal....with a chair
    Ah, but the coppers came a cropper 'cause I made it to the crapper
    And departed by a ventilator shaft
    I met my buddies in the alley as they'd run out through the galley
    And we just ran and ran and laughed and laughed and laughed
    And there's nothin' like drinkin' up a windfall
    Baby, we was drunker than a monkey with a skinful
    So goddam drunk it was sinful
    And I think I ain't sober yet
    (Ah, pour me one, Amos)
    Well there's nothin' like drinkin' up a windfall
    Baby, we were drunker than a monkey with a skinful
    So goddam drunk it was sinful
    And I think I ain't sober yet
    Halfway out of Levittown we got our second wind
    In a dump so down and out it'd make you laugh
    So I had another mug, my buddy had another jug
    And the cabbie had another pitcher and a half
    We got to Suffolk County, we was goin' into overdrive
    The word had spread and crowds began to form
    We drank our way from Jericho along 110 to the Merrick Road
    A-boozin' and a-singin' up a storm
    I lost my buddy and the cab-driver in the Hamptons somewhere
    We's all drunker than it's possible to be
    There finally came a time I didn't have another dime
    I sat on Montauk Point and wept into the sea
    Well there's nothin' like drinkin' up a windfall
    Baby, we were drunker than a monkey with a skinful
    So goddam drunk it was sinful
    And I think I ain't sober yet
    Well there's nothin' like drinkin' up a windfall
    Baby, we were drunker than a monkey with a skinful
    So goddam drunk it was sinful
    And I think I ain't sober yet
    SMOOOOTH!
