Dance Hall Crashers Whiskey Gin Lyrics

Whiskey Gin Lyrics

In the backroom of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him



Everything was hidden by all the greasy hair he was in



Never looking up, he seemed so sad I tried to offer him



My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin







We sat there quietly purposely ignoring the room



He smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn



Everlasting glances left open ended chances



But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me







In the back room of the bar



In the back room of the bar



We made a great couple me and him



Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin



Well that's the way it is with him







Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair



His hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhere



Took out a photo of an old Romeo



Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee







We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet



He'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie Julep



Went through an Artillery, Caruso, and a Diamond Fizz



Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark







In the back room of the bar



In the back room of the bar



We made a great couple me and him



Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin







Last call came right at once, glasses were empty and dry



We got our second wind but all we had was a dime



Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware



We jumped overthe counter, took off with our hands full of booze







In the back room of the bar



In the back room of the bar



We made a great couple me and him



Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin (x2)
