Of all concoctions alcoholical
I know, but one that's diabolical
I simply thrive on old Champagne and sparkling Burgandy
Whiskey, Cointreau, Moselle
Or Eau de Vie are just like tea
But, vodka, dont give me vodka,
For when i take a little drink
I forget to think
What a little drink can do to me

Vodka, dont give me vodka,
For when i take a little nip, I begin to slip
And I start romancing with the man that I am dancing with
For vodka, makes me feel oddka
I go and grab a six foot two, anyone will do
If he's only wise enought to see
I'll not scream should he kiss me
Couldnt if I would, wouldnt if I could
Vodka, you ruin me.
