Drunk as a Punk Lyrics by Burton Cummings

Voices (Selections from the Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1979

Pardon me while I fall off my stool
I think I'm a drunk 25-year-old fool
You got to be shy sigh to sex B
You're disco woman and you're bored and you're mean
Pardon me while I tell you a tale
That'll make all your war paint turn pale
These bar rooms full of fail-safe whale
Really not your vicious disco
Do you think you're so different now than you were somehow?
It's so paché, isn't it really
Used to be a thing called the backbeat
Used to be a thing we do it all night
We thought we were mean, thought we wеre clean
Thought we wеre right, thought we were right
Thought we were right
But it was only rock 'n' roll, oh
It was only rock 'n' roll
Only rock 'n' roll
Only rock 'n' roll
Only rock 'n' roll
Alright Jimmy
