That's the one.

I like a drink of water, that's true,
But when there's no water than whiskey will do,
Just give me the butt of a 5 cent cigar,
and an old fashioned tune on my trusty guitar...

At the very end Kenny would sing(to the tune of SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK)

East side, west side, all around the town,
The Bowery Bums are shuffling on the sidewalks up and down,
Some of them are sober, some can't see to walk,
Each night they bounce their heads upon the sidewalks of New York.
