i can barely feel the sheets with all these crumbs down in my bed

How can i get to sleep with all this buzzin' in my head

And who'd have ever thought i'd not complain about a mess

Servers me right i guess

This is what i get

For eatin' crackers with my gin

And drinkin' in my sunday dress



The telephone is by the bottle, which is always by my bed

From time to time i give it a rattle to make sure that it's not dead

I will wait here for your call till i run out of cigarettes

I love to play the part of the damsel in distress

Flickin' ashes in my coffee

Drinkin' in my sunday dress



Well ive been on the road to this and i've been on the way to this

But who'd a'think it'd come to this

Don't let on you've seem me like this



My old transistor's sounding just as twangy as a fender

My radiator growls like elvis after sunday dinner

I've drained my last tequila and i've thrown away the blender

I've poured out all the wine

From how on nothin' but the best

Cognac and pasty cline while drinkin' in my sunday dress



Well ive been on the road to this and i've been on the way to this

I surely ain't a hypocrite

I've had my fun and now i must confess



Our reverend is a kingly soul

Repents 'em on a dime

His bible is not inked in gold

He's not the cheatin' kind

One sunday after meetin'

I was in the greetin' line

He said i've seen you from the altar

Gulpin' down communion wine

Just remember who's beside you

When it's no business of mine
