There's crime in the city streets, always trouble in the Middle East
How'd we let things get so outta hand
Just watchin' the evenin' news, that would give anybody the blues
The more I know I think, the less I understand.
Oh Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck
And make a toast to peace and harmony
Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck
And see how good, gettin' along might be.
I'd like to buy the world around
In a honky-tonk on neutral ground
Where we can see inside were all the same
Pop a top and let the good times pour
Till we forget what we was fightin' for
I'll ask again, can someone please explain.
As different as we may be, were all one big family
Can't we all just agree we gonna disagree.
Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck
And make a toast to peace and harmony
Why Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck
And see how good, gettin' along can be.
And see how good, gettin' along could be.
We got Thibay-deaux, Fountaineaux, join the buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressin' in style, an gettin' kinda wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have a little fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
Because tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio (that's sweetheart)
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and do a little danceo
Gonna pass a good time on the bayou.
