Well, it's been a long time since I've had a drink of 
alcohol 
Since the babies grieved and grandma lost a leg 
There ain't no sense in draggin' the lake anymore 
There are bats in the belfry and there's liquor at the 
store 

Oh I've had a look or two at her figure at times 
That girl in her tight wearin' bra drivin' me out of my 
mind 
And there ain't no sense in rememberin' nothin' for 
score 
'Cause my dad fought the japs in the war 
And - and - snd there ain't any more 

If I was thinkin' about Thelesa 
How she tempted me in the basement 
Recording every noise I made 
There weren't no sense in what they had to say 
'Cause they're tryin' to kill me and they say it's 
judgment day 


When I think of her lips the way she had 'em at the 
store that night 
The undertaker was waitin' in the parking lot 
She told me I'd be going to find myself in a desperate 
way 
It was the best moment of my life 

If you think that they'll find you it really doesn't 
matter 
I'll try my best to save you from the flatterer 
There ain't no sense in cryin' 'cause I'm gonna win in 
the end 
And you'll all be sittin' 'round havin' a good time
