I saw you last evening standin' up against a tree I saw you last evening standin' up against a tree I heard you say you were sick but you looked sloppy drunk to me Well your hat was on backwards and your clothes were comin' off of you Well your hat was on backwards and your clothes were comin' off of you You were preachin' to the birds and doin' the boogie woogie too The ambulance came to get you and the doctor had to strap you down The ambulance came to get you and the doctor had to strap you down Somebody said you blew a fuse, now the talk's all over town I wouldn't believe it if they told me, but I was standing there to see I wouldn't believe it if they told me, but I was standing there to see Well maybe you were sick but you looked sloppy drunk to me You get drunk Saturday evenin' and you stay drunk Sunday mornin' too You get drunk Saturday evenin' and you stay drunk Sunday mornin' too Well you'd be better off if they kept that juice away from you.
