Are you looking for "What's the Use of Gettin' Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)?" This was recorded in the 40s by Louis Jordan, starts off with a conversation between slow-talking Pappy and crack-voiced Sonny and then Pappy does the song itself. Most of the lyrics are as per:

What's the use of gettin' sober when you're gonna get drunk again?
Old Sam done somethin' fine
When he brought back good whiskey, beer, and wine.
I love my whiskey and I love my gin
Every time you see me I'm in my sin
What's the use of gettin' sober when you're gonna get drunk again?

swingy recitation begins:
I went out last nite 'bout half past one
Thought I'd boot it up a little and have some fun
I got me a pint about half past two
The way I was feeling you know what I wanted to do (&c)

Sung:
Now what's the use of gettin' sober when you're gonna get drunk again?
I keep drinkin' and I keep thinkin'
I guess I'm 'bout to lose my mind

The main strain is set to a slow swing drag based on the same chords as "Alice's Restaurant."

If by some chance this is it, head over to http://www.jazz-on-line.com/pageinterrogation.php and do a search for a free .mp3 download. "Sober" should be enough of a keyword to find it. It's also on one of the 70s Stash LPs -- "Pipe, Spoon, Pot, and Jug" I believe without looking at the jacket; that was where I learned it.
