Drank away the rest of the day   Wonder what my liver would say   Drink, that's all you can      Blackened days with their bigger gales   Blow in your parlor to discuss the day   Listen, that's all you can      Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat   That you built, you built to keep afloat   Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat   That you built      Sick and tired of what to say   No one listens, anyway   Sing, that's all you can      Rambling years of lousy luck   You miss the smell of burning turf   Dream, that's all you can      Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat   That you built, you built to keep afloat   Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat   That you built, that you built to keep afloat      Singled out for who you are   It takes all types to judge a man   Feel, that's all you can      Filthy suits with bigot ears   Hide behind their own worst fears   Live, that's all you can      It's all you can   It's all you can do      No matter where I put my head   I wake up feeling sound again   Dream, it's all you can      Tomorrow smells of less decay   The flowers quick just bloom and fray   Be thankful, that's all you can      Ah, but don't, don't sink the boat   That you built, you built to keep afloat   Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat   That you built, you built to keep afloat      Ah no, don't, oh no, don't sink the boat   Oh, that you built, that you built to keep afloat      A ripe old age, a ripe old age   I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am   I'm ripe old age, a ripe old age   A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey      A ripe old age, a ripe old age   A ripe old age, that's what I am   A ripe old age, a ripe old age   A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey   The best I can
