LET'S GET DRUNK AND TRUCK
(Whittaker)

as recorded by
The Harlem Hamfats  1936


Plenty liquor and a gang of beer,
A cold corner and a word of cheer,
No-one to bother us while we're here,
Let's get drunk and truck!

I know your other man is out of town,
My other woman, she is not around,
Now it's time to break 'em down,
Let's get drunk and truck!

If we should accidentally
Get too high to go home,
I've got an extra dollar
To buy us all some corn!

Plenty kisses and other fun,
Another gallon to wake up on,
So it's nothin' to be waitin' on,
Let's get drunk and truck!

Plenty liquor and a gang of beer,
A cold corner and a word of cheer,
No-one to bother us while we're here,
Let's get drunk and truck!

Now it's time to break 'em down,
Let's get drunk and truck!

If we should accidentally
Get too high to go home,
I've got an extra dollar
To buy us all some corn!

Plenty kisses and other fun,
Another gallon to wake up on,
So it's nothin' to be waitin' on,
Let's get drunk and truck!
