Well, I've been kicked and beaten,

It don't bother me no more.

Don't offer me no pillows,

When I'm just fine here on the floor



I've so many wounds

That I hope they'll never mend

But I can raise my glass up

For a beer with all my friends



'Cause I'm the Barfly, I like to drink, that's what I do



All these women in the world...

Why did I leave mine when times were so rough

All these women in the world...

Why did I leave mine when times were so rough

But when you left me baby, you left me needing more than enough



(Alternate Second Verse:

There's a curly girl from Jersey

she's sittin' on my right

Showin me her cleavage

Which she so sweetly wraps up tight

I snatch another whiskey

Just to improve the view

don't listen to the truth I'm tellin her, none of its directed at you,

'Cause I'm the Barfly, I like to drink, that's what I do)



Well the ocean's my home

I'm living on the liferaft alone



Well the ocean's my home

I'm living on the liferaft alone



Now they call me flat stir crazy

But I'm just sittin here at the bar flat on my throne



Well I've been kicked and beaten

It don't bother me no more.

Don't offer me no pillows,

When I'm just fine here on the floor



I've so many wounds

That I hope they'll never mend

But I can raise my glass up

For a beer with all my friends



'Cause I'm the Barfly, I like to drink, that's what I do
