Story Behind the Song
A true story. Dedicated to the memory of Marty Gaffney.
Lyrics
Sunday night at Split Rail, things were getting pretty wild
Smooth Gary said to Roger, “Man! This gravy needs some style”
Let's put Nyquil in the gravy (3x)
Then we'll drink one more Pearl Beer
They went to seven eleven, just like the song does say
They paid for all the Nyquil, then they carried it away,
They got Nyquil for the gravy
Then they drank one more Pearl Beer
Smooth Gary in the kitchen, Crow was standing at the door
Smoothie said, “Is that enough?” Alvin told him “MORE!”
Put more Nyquil in the gravy
Then we'll drink one more Pearl Beer
The owner said, “I like the taste, but the color’s not quite right.”
“But that won’t be a problem, we’ll just turn down the lights”
We'll put Nyquil in the gravy
Then we'll drink one more Pearl Beer
The fellow they called Wildman, his tongue was turning green,
That night he smashed a tire tool into the limousine
There was Nyquil in HIS gravy
Then he had one more Pearl Beer
It’s Good for what may ail you, that Nyquil’s powerful stuff
You’ll! feel! fine! if your gravy’s green enough
Put some Nyquil in your gravy
Then drink one more Pearl Beer
