You'll Never Take My Booze

By Roderick Vydrina

You can take all my silver

You can take all my gold

You can throw me out onto the street

You can shove me and kick me

You can taunt me and scold

And I'll bounce right back onto my feet

Because in this world

There's one thing I know

That no matter what I might lose

If you reach for my bottle

You'll be in for a row

'Cuz you'll never take my booze

You can take my pants

You can take my shirt

Believe me, I'm very sincere

But reach for my mug

And you're in for a hurt

'Cuz you'll never take my beer

Because in this world

There's one thing I know

That no matter what I might lose

If you reach for my bottle

You'll be in for a row

'Cuz you'll never take my booze

You can take my water

You can take my food

You can eat every last morsel and crumb

But grab for my glass

Well buddy, you're screwed

'Cuz you'll never take my rum

Because in this world

There's one thing I know

That no matter what I might lose

If you reach for my bottle

You'll be in for a row

'Cuz you'll never take my booze

You can have my kids

You can have my wife

You can take every last one of my kin

But lean towards my cup

And you'll deal with my knife

'Cuz you'll never take my gin

Because in this world

There's one thing I know

That no matter what I might lose

If you reach for my bottle

You'll be in for a row

'Cuz you'll never take my booze

So remember my words

And take them to heart

I don't really mean to accuse

But let's avoid all this conflict

And just play it smart

So stay the Hell away from my booze!
