Clink Clink Another Drink
Mel Blanc Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clink, clink, another drink
Plenty in the cellar when it's gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Making tinkly music till the dawn is breaking.

Clang, clang, who cares a dang?
What's the difference when you're on a spree?
Over the teeth, behind the gums,

Look out stomach here she comes
Hi! Have another drink on me.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.

Trinkle, trinkle, trinkle, trinkle.
Slice of cheese and bite of pickle
Doesn't even cost a nickel
Now to wash it down.

Clink, clink, no more to drink
I had a cellar full, but now its gone.
Drink, drink, the glasses clink
Like the anvil chorus and my head is splitting,
uh, brinking, uh, busting. Oh brother!

Oh, ow, what'll I do now
Pink elephants running after me.
Oh, that stuff is smooth as silk

From now on I'll stick to milk.
Nothing else to drink for me.

Overall Meaning

The song "Clink Clink Another Drink" by Mel Blanc was released in 1950 and provides a humorous take on the idea of excess drinking. The lyrics describe the act of drinking, clinking glasses, and indulging in a reckless spree with a devil-may-care attitude. The opening lyrics "clink, clink, another drink" are repeated throughout the song and convey the idea of someone who has already had too much to drink and yet continues to indulge further without any sense of responsibility.

The verse "Over the teeth, behind the gums, look out stomach, here she comes" is a comical and childlike way of describing the rhythm of swallowing, the drink going over the teeth, down the throat, and into the stomach. The repetition of "gurgle" reinforces this imagery further. The lyrics also mention a slice of cheese and a bite of pickle, describing the single indulgences of someone who is enjoying their drink without any worry about the cost.

However, towards the end of the song, the mood shifts as the singer's head starts to spin and the effects of drinking too much take their toll. The last verse "Oh, ow, what'll I do now, Pink elephants running after me. Oh, that stuff is smooth as silk, From now on I'll stick to milk. Nothing else to drink for me." portrays the negative after effects of excessive drinking and the decision to forgo drinking entirely in the future.

Overall, the song is a lighthearted take on the concept of overindulgence in drinking, while subtly highlighting the negative effects of such behavior.
