    Lyrics
    QUIT YER DRINKIN MAR. 2 ’02 tp© G
    Intro YOU’VE GOT TO QUIT YER DRINKIN’, QUIT YER SMOKIN’

    QUIT YER CAROUSALIN’ GET A JOB AND SETTLE DOWN

    NO PRIZE A WAITS IN HEAVEN FOR FIRST ONE TO GET THERE
    QUIT YER DRINKIN’ QUIT YER SMOKIN’ GET A JOB AND SETTLE DOWN
    (1)

    MY FRIENDS ALL CAME TO TELL ME THINGS GO BETTER IN A GROUP

    AND SO I JOINED A GROUP, WE DRANK COFFEE AND ATE SOUP

    WE SWAPPED THE TALES OF PAST DAYS SPENT WANDERING IN A VAST HAZE

    AND WHEN I CONTINUED DRINKIN MY NEW FRIENDS ALL KICKED ME OUT
    Chorus BREAK
    (2)
    IV’E BEEN A SMOKER OFF AND ON AND ON AND OFF

    AND THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY I START THE DAY AND COUGH

    MY FRIENDS ALL SAY WHY WAIT TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAVEN’S GATE

    THERE’S ENOUGH TAR PACKED INSIDE OF ME TO SMOOTH AN PAVE THE WAY
    Bridge

    ON THE THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF MY FIRST SMOKE AND RUM

    I’LL BE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AT A DRUNK AND SODDEN BUM

    break(verse)

    (3)
    FEELING SOMEWHAT BETTER NOW THAT I’VE CLEANED UP MY ACT

    DIOLISYS IS PAINFUL AND THE OXYGEN’S A DRAG

    TRANSFUSIONS KEEP MY MIND CLEAR AND I’M DEFINITELY OFF BEER

    AND THE ONE WHO FINISHED FIRST HAS WON THE FINAL LAUGH chorus out
