The Power Of Positive Drinking lyrics

[Verse 1]

Some like wine and some like hops

But what I really love is my scotch

It's the power, the power of positive drinking

[Verse 2]

Some people ruin their drinks with ice

And then they, they ask you for advice

They tell you, I've never told anyone else before

[Verse 3]

They say, Candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters

And I don't like mixers, or sippers or sob sisters

You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down

In a bar these days

[Verse 4]

And then some people drink to unleash their libidos

And other people drink to prop up their egos

It's my burden, man, people say

I have the kind of face you can trust

[Chorus]

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

[Verse 5]

Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid

And think that's true if you're kind of stupid

I'm not that kind that get's himself burned twice

[Verse 6]

And some say liquor kills the cells in your head

And for that matter so does getting out of bed

When I exit, I'll go out gracefully, shot in my hand

[Chorus]

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
