Strychnine (Live At Max’s Kansas City)

Lyrics

[Intro] You're probably wondering how we got this way Well, I'll tell you how we got this way The stuff we've been drinking back there, that's how we got this way You know what that's got in it? Anybody know what that's got in it? [Audience guesses] It's got that in it, but it's got something else in it "Carbona!" There's something else You know, you guys out there, you got any girlfriends? Or you girls got any guyfriends out there? And when you're not with them, you kinda wonder what they're doing, you know? You wonder if they're messing around or something like that, you know? Well, you give them a little drink of this, and they got to tell the truth Now, you know, not only you give them a drink of this, not only will they tell everything they have done But they're going to tell you what they intend to do And this secret ingredient that we've got, and we've got the only patent on it So we're going to sing you this song about right now Brother Bryan, Sister Ivy, and Sister Miriam are going to play a little tune now, all about this secret ingredient Some folks like water Some folks like wine But I like the taste Of straight strychnine You may think it's funny That I like this stuff But once you've tried it You can't get enough Woow! The wine is red Poison is blue Strychnine is good For what's a-ailin' you Aaaahh! [Guitar solo] The wine is red And poison is blue Strychnine is good For what's a-ailin' you Aaaahh! If you listen to what I say You'll try strychnine someday Make you laugh It'll make you shout It'll even knock you down Some folks like water Some folks like wine But I like the taste Of straight strychnine Strychnine(ay ay) Strychnine(ay ay) Strychnine(ay ay) Strychnine
