A Bar Song
Shaboozey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She′s been telling me all night long
Gasoline and groceries, the list goes on and on
This 9 to 5 ain't working, why the hell do I work so hard?
I can′t worry about my problems, I can't take 'em when I′m gone
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
Tell ′em bring another out, we need plenty more
Two stepping on the table, she don't need a dance floor
Oh my, good Lord
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
There′s a party downtown, near 5th Street
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
I've been Boozey since I′ve left
I ain't changing for a check
Tell my ma′, I ain't forget (oh Lord)
Woke up drunk at 10 a.m.
We gon' do this shit again
Tell your girl to bring a friend (oh Lord)
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
Tell ′em bring another out, we need plenty more
Two stepping on the table, she don′t need a dance floor
Oh my, good Lord
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
There's a party downtown, near 5th Street
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
When it′s last call, and they kick us out the door
It's getting kind of late, but the ladies want some more
Oh my, good Lord
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
There′s a party downtown, near 5th Street
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
At the bottom of a bottle gone miss me
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
Everybody at the bar getting tipsy
The lyrics of "A Bar Song" by Shaboozey depict a scene of revelry and escapism, with the singer caught in the throes of a night out at the bar. The opening lines suggest a sense of frustration with the daily grind of a 9 to 5 job, with the singer questioning the purpose of working so hard when faced with personal problems that seem insurmountable. The mention of his baby wanting a Birkin bag highlights material desires and the pressure to fulfill certain expectations.
As the song progresses, the chorus introduces a lively and carefree atmosphere, with a call for more drinks and a disregard for conventional dance spaces. The reference to Jack Daniels and whiskey signals a familiar coping mechanism for the singer, indicating a pattern of seeking solace in alcohol and reveling in the party scene. The repetition of the phrase "Oh my, good Lord" punctuates the energy and excitement of the moment.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's state of mind, as he proclaims a sense of defiance in maintaining his Boozey persona and resisting changing for a paycheck. The casual attitude towards drinking at 10 a.m. and the invitation to bring a friend suggest a continuation of the night's festivities and a disregard for societal norms. The carefree attitude is further reinforced by the repetition of the chorus and the refusal to conform to expectations.
Towards the end of the song, the final chorus brings a sense of closure to the night out, with the inevitability of last call signaling the end of the festivities. Despite the late hour, the singer and the ladies in the bar are still eager for more drinks and enjoyment. The references to Jack Daniels and the party near 5th Street serve as anchors in the night's adventures, while also hinting at the transient nature of such moments. The repeated refrain of "Everybody at the bar getting tipsy" encapsulates the intoxicating and euphoric atmosphere of the night, painting a vivid picture of a carefree and boisterous evening.

Although it is late, the women are eager for additional fun
At the bottom of a bottle gone miss me
As I finish the contents of a bottle, I will be absent
