lyrics

WHY CAN’T I BE A BARTENDER?!

why can’t i be a bartender?
cuz those guys they make all the bread
why can’t i be a bartender?
cuz id rather get off the floor
n start drinking, start drinking instead

(make my drink, pour my beer)

n they get stuck
behind the bar
talking to assholes
w no getaway car
they might feel sorry
for that poor lonely girl
who’s there every night
starin n hopin

C

(make my drink, pour my beer)

the servers get impatient
the bartender gets mad
the customers r screaming
they want their beer bad
drunks ain’t much fun when
yr not drinking
the bartender he smiles
can’t show what he’s thinking

ask the new kid
he’ll get yr ice
save yr back
try try t be nice
oh the less ya do
the more ya make
a bartender job
is a a piece o cake

C

why can’t i be a bartender? dammit! they won’t let me.
they got favorites. makes me mad sometimes. i can do this.
i can do it. hell with it
