Heard this song Wednesday night in a bar and then stumbled over the CD last night. Hope y'all enjoy it. I thought it was a riot!
Blues for Bartenders
Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin
Up & In, track 5
Alligator Records (ALCD 4851)
Next time you're in a bar and lookin' for somethin' to toast,
Don't forget our friend who deserves it the most.
The bartender listens to our problems and deals with our weird trips.
And tries to make a living depending on our tips.
[Chorus]
So hard to be a bartender.
Hard to be a bartender.
Get hip to the tip.
The bartender's got the blues!
This guy walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a beer
And how 'bout another for my alligator here."
The bartender starts to run, but the man says, "Don't be upset.
My alligator's tame; why he's the sweetest little pet.
My gator would never hurt me no matter what I do."
The man unzipped his pants and said, "I'll prove it to you."
He opened the gator's mouth and placed his personal private in
He hit the gator on the head, but all the gator did was grin.
"Anyone else want to try this", the inserted man said.
Little voice from the corner said, "I will, but please don't hit me on the head."
[Chorus]
So hard to be a bartender
Hard to be a bartender
Real life is stranger than these stories
The bartender's got the blues
[Instrumental break]
Man walks into a bar and says, "We'll have some wine.
By 'we' I mean me and this special frog of mine."
The lady bartender said, "No animals, and I'll bet your frog's too young."
The man told her, "This is a special frog; he pleases women with his tongue."
That caught the bartender's interest. She said, "This I got to see
I'd like to have Mr. Froggy do this special trick to me.".
she hikes up her skirt and cocked her leg up on the bar.
The man put his frog in the right place: not too close, not too far
The frog just sat and said, "Ribbet" and they waited five or ten.
The man cussed out the stupid frog and said, "Lemme show you again!"
[Chorus]
So hard to be a bartender
Hard to be a bartender
So pour one for yourself
The bartender's got the blues A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"
A hamburger ordered a shot and was told, "We don't serve food in this place."
A proctologist told the bartender, "Your job's much harder than mine:
A proctologist only has to deal with one at a time."
[Chorus]
So hard to be a bartender
Hard to be a bartender
Get hip to the tip
The bartender's got the blues
[Chorus]
So hard to be a bartender
Hard to be a bartender
Get hip to the tip
The bartender's got the blues
