One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer

Alexis Korner · Musically Rich & Famous [1998]

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer, yeah

Please Mr. Bartender, listen here

I ain't here for trouble so have no fear

One scotch, one bourbon and one beer



I don't want soda up, bubble gum

You got what it takes, now give me some

Since my baby's been gone, everyday is lost

I'm on this kick and I can't get on



One scotch, one bourbon, one beer

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer

Hey Mr. Bartender, listen here

I ain't here for trouble, and have no fear

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer



My baby started me on this spree

I can't find her and she can't find me

She left this morning sayin' she wouldn't stay

She's been out all night and it's the break of day



One scotch, one bourbon, one beer

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer, yeah

Hey Mr. Bartender, listen here

I ain't here for trouble, and have no fear

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer



One more nipping, make it strong

I got to find my baby if it's all night long



One scotch, one bourbon, one beer

One scotch, one bourbon, one beer, yeah

Hey Mr. Bartender, listen here

I ain't here for trouble, and have no fear

One scotch, one bourbon and one beer



Did you hear me, fellas?

I said, pour a quarter, one scotch

Now I'm gonna put a bourbon on the side

Give me bourbon who serves two

One scotch

One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer
