Livesey Lyrics

DOCTOR LIVESEY: A very good and cheerful man

Not married; talkative and sociable, just because he can

This man is the epitome of confidence and swagger

Reduce the pace of anyone who messes with him to a stagger

What's this? You fell down the stairs

After getting the big scares

From an errant wood plank from the floor squares?

[laughter] I doubt that very much, you lazy bum

No, you simply had a stroke because of your excessive affinity to rum

Watch as he walks down the hall

With the swagger of Wide Putin

He's come to help you with your problems;

For healthy lives he's rootin'!

Thank you, Doctor Livesey, for helping us

Understand that this is true:

The word "Rum" and the word "Death" should be

One and the same to you!

(Where's Black Dog?)

Settle down, there's no dogs here!

Stop shouting, and please put down the beer!

Your drunk behavior will tear your heart

Your public image will get smeared

Lords, sirs and peers, You'll be touched to tears

Please avoid the drinking, Know where to stop

As the way is long, If the whiskey's strong

Then it's pretty soon that you'll surely drop

You'll be put out of your misery

By a drug that you should know how to avoid

This is no place to talk, keep quiet and listen

You're good at the drinking

But talk, talk, talk, you can't keep going!

Grow up, you're not as hard as you used to be

A man should be respectful

To all he meets in his daily walk

While still using that good sense of humor

To turn down the notion

You won't be able to run 100 yards with that kind of shortness of breath

Smoking is bad for health, and it brings on the veil of death!

Livesey's diagnosis says that you have meningitis

Not to mention a quite massive amount of chronic bronchitis

DOCTOR LIVESEY: A very good and cheerful man

Not married; talkative and sociable, just because he can

This man is the epitome of confidence and swagger

Reduce the pace of anyone who messes with him to a stagger

(Where's Black Dog?)

Settle down, there's no dogs here!

Stop shouting, and please put down the beer!

Your drunk behavior will tear your heart

Your public image will get smeared

Lords, sirs and peers, You'll be touched to tears

Please avoid the drinking, Know where to stop

As the way is long, If the whiskey's strong

Then it's pretty soon that you'll surely drop
