Drunken Baker

D R U N K E N B A K E R
When he was five years old in his Indiana home
He saw his daddy in the kitchen with an apron on
Saw him fire up an oven with a pie on board
You could smell banana lemon and meringue good Lord

It was five years later on the other side of town
He got an after school job at the Hotel Brown
While the other kids were out playing football games
He was running with the oven and the baked Soufflé

Hey drunken baker buddy keep it going
Everything tastes better when the Bourbon is flowing
You‘re the enemy of everything Atkins
Don’t you love it when the crumbs hits the napkin
Yeah you drunken baker you give it all you got
And for the sake of the cheesecake have another shot
And if you’re ever on the wagon I’ll sell this place
So drunken baker bake away

He made a Crème Brŭlée and you know the thing was
It didn’t wanna get right till he got real buzzed
When he tried to re-create it in a sober state
Got the lemon interrupting with the sugar and the egg
And so he drinks by the hour if the truth be known
If for no good reason but quality control
Someday he’ll quit the habit and retire I think
Buddy not just yet here have another drink

Yeah drunken baker buddy keep it going
Everything tastes better when the Bourbon is flowing
You‘re the enemy of everything Atkins
Don’t you love it when the crumb hits the napkin
Yeah you drunken baker you give it all you got
And for the sake of the cheesecake have another shot
And if you’re ever on the wagon I’ll sell this place
So drunken baker bake away

Bake it

Yeah the Beam’s in the kitchen ‘cause the Jack just drowned
And the money’s in the oven at the Hotel Brown

Yeah drunken baker buddy keep it going
Everything tastes better when the Bourbon is flowing
You‘re the enemy of everything Atkins
Don’t you love it when the crumbs hit the napkin
Yeah you drunken baker you give it all you got
And for the sake of the cheesecake have another shot
And if you’re ever on the wagon I’ll sell this place
Drunken baker bake away
Bake away
Bake away
