He was brought up like a sailor,
A pirate of the streets,
Stealing booty, booze, and dirty magazines
The rainy days come, the rainy days go,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
She was coddled like a princess,
And promised as a bride,
Lady Jekyll secret life to hide
So through the window she'd creep when her father fell asleep,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
She bats her eyes and lies about her ring,
He used the coin he stole to buy the drinks.
Never thought they'd find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
He never made an honest buck,
She only borrowed from the truth,
They were the greatest match that hell had ever seen
But if you reap what you sew, it doesn't matter where you go,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
She bats her eyes and lies about her ring,
The coin he stole is buying all the drinks
It's the devil's first mate and a drunken runaway,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
A round for our two lovers,
In this bar stool fairy tale,
Giving something for us bastards to believe
You never think you'll find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
With whiskey, And liars, and thieves!
A toast to those who stole another day (one more day!),
A round to those who lied to get away (one more drink?)
And to those who found love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Some day you'll find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
Never thought they'd find love drowning sorrows at the pub,
The whiskey, the liar, the thief!
Enjoy!
