Why Don't We Get Drunk
Jimmy Buffett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But your face don't look too clear
So, barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Pick it, Coral Reefers, here we go
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now, baby, I say (Lord)
Why don't we get drunk and screw
The lyrics to Jimmy Buffett’s song “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” have a clear message of intoxication and sexual desires. In the first verse, Buffett appreciates the lovely voice of the woman he’s with, but mentions that her face isn’t clear. He then suggests to the bartender to bring another round of beer and pitch, and proposes to the woman to get drunk and have sex. The chorus repeats the title line twice, and Buffett again tells the woman that they have a water bed ready for them to use. He also mentions a rumor he has heard about the woman being a snuff queen, but he doesn’t believe it. In the end, he urges the woman once more to get drunk and have sex.

I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
I value your presence and company
Your voice sounds so wonderful
I find your voice pleasing
But yer face don't look too clear
You appear to be intoxicated
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew
I would like to continue drinking alcohol
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Let's have sex after getting intoxicated
They say you are a snuff queen
Rumors suggest you enjoy snorting tobacco
Honey I don't think that's true
I don't believe those rumors
Yeah, now baby I say, (Lord!)
I am urging you to take action
Why don't we get drunk and screw
Let's have sex after getting intoxicated

I've been looking for this song for a long time. Every since I first heard it in Santa Barbara in the 70s.

My mom tripped on acid the whole time she was pregnant with me and my dad was an archangel Michael. I was born as Heavenly Blessing OConnor-Swortz. I was such a bad to the bone baby they made drugs with my soul and created the universe using me and my blessings. Lol.
