Lyrics

[Intro] Now, this song is the Seven Drunken Nights But we're only allowed to sing 5 of them, so here it goes [Verse 1] Oh, as I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?" [Chorus] Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool Still you can not see That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But a saddle on a sow, sure, I never saw before [Verse 2] And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be?" [Chorus] Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool Still you can not see That's a woolen blanket that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But buttons in a blanket, sure, I never saw before [Verse 3] And, as I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a pipe upon the chair where my old pipe should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that pipe upon the chair where my old pipe should be?" [Chorus] Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool Still you can not see That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But tobacco in a tin whistle, sure, I never saw before [Verse 4] And, as I went home on Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be?" [Chorus] Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool Still you can not see They're two lovely Geranium pots me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But laces in Geranium pots, sure, I never saw before [Verse 5] And, as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a head upon the bed where my old head should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be?" [Chorus] Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool Still you can not see That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But a baby boy with his whiskers on, sure, I never saw before
