Doo doo doo bow bow bow
Politics, religion and bourbon
Is a wee bit more than I can take
I fish for my keys
Someone said, You looking for these?
And my foolish hands shake
I spent the night in the drunk tank
Made a bid for my immediate release
Oh but in the morning, alas, I had a class
At the university to teach
I counted the heads around me
An old man with hair white as snow
He seemed to ponder the debates of all his cellmates
He chuckled as he spoke
He said, in diplomacy people
Are seldom more irrational
Than when the Almighty stakes are so low
That it breaks a man's heart just to know
Threadbare and unshaven,
He considered my costume with a nod
Let me apologize for our appearance
For are we not all naked before God?
It was my turn then to nod
Education being my profession,
That night I learned by mistake
A lesser man than I does not exist
Nor will I offer my foolish handshake
La da da da da
Foolish handshake
Politics, religion and bourbon
Is a wee bit more than I can take
I fish for my keys
Someone said, You looking for these?
And my foolish hands shake
I spent the night in the drunk tank
Made a bid for my immediate release
Oh but in the morning, alas, I had a class
At the university to teach
I counted the heads around me
An old man with hair white as snow
He seemed to ponder the debates of all his cellmates
He chuckled as he spoke
He said, in diplomacy people

Than when the Almighty stakes are so low
That it breaks a man's heart just to know

La da da da da
Foolish handshake
