On the Way to the Bottom — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(Shel Silverstein)

On the way to the bottom I met an old friend of mine
He 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 round
And 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 stops
And we`d meet a lot of fools bustin` their hopes on the way to the top
Pass me another bottle and turn down the lights
Forget about tomorrow, babe we`re gonna rumble tonight
I`ll wear my low heeled boots you`ll wear your taffeta gown
And if we`re heading for the bottom we`ll go laughing all the way down

On the way to the bottom I met an ol` girl of mine
She said "Honey, I`m scared, won`t you love me one more time?"
I said "One more time? Shoot, about a million more
We had a whole lotta loving and a whole lot more in store"

On the way to the bottom we make a lot of stops
And we`d meet a lot of fools bustin` their hopes on the way to the top
Pass me another bottle and turn down the lights
Forget about tomorrow, babe we`re gonna rumble tonight
I`ll wear my low heeled boots you`ll wear your taffeta gown
And if we`re heading for the bottom we`ll go laughing all the way down...
