JUST A LITTLE DRINK
Byron Gay  1925


as rec by Billy Murray  Lewis James  
Elliott Shaw & Wilfred Glenn w Paul Whiteman & his Orch  
May 6th 1925 Camden NJ


Way out on the desert,
My mouth is full of cotton;
Gee, but I feel thirsty,
I wish I had a drink!

How about a drink?
I wish I had a drink,
Just a little drink or two! (Why stop at two?)
Can't we have a drink?
Just a little drink,
Any little drink will do! (I'm with you!)

If I had a drink,
Just a little drink,
Then I wouldn't feel so blue! (Oh, how dry I am!)
Don't you really think
We ought to have a drink?
Just a little drink with you!

For it's always fair weather
When good fellows get together,
With a trein on the table, ha!
And a good song ringing clear.
