A rowdy up-tempo sing-along rocker (with a Kinks reference) about a guy who liked booze too much and what happened to him.
lyrics
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol got me by the balls,
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol got me by the balls,
Don't matter if a bottle's short or tall,
Straight or mixed I drink it all,
I pour it down till they yell last call,
Cause alcohol got me by the balls,
I might be pukin' out in the hall,
Fallin’ through doors, bouncin' off walls,
If I can't walk I'm gonna crawl,
Cause alcohol got me by the balls,
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol got me by the balls,
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol got me by the balls,
Couldn't help it, even though I knew,
Everything Ray sang about was true,
Got my ass, tossed into jail,
Sobered up 'cause I couldn't make bail,
Feelin' good, don't wanna fail,
Now my drink is ginger ale,
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol had me by the balls,
By the balls, by the balls,
Alcohol had me by the balls,
Alcohol had me by the balls,
Alcohol had me by the balls,
Alcohol had me by the balls,
