Rockin' Rebels Lyrics

I was at the bar with my drinkin team,
The singer was hanging out at a bar with their friends

It was me Jack Daniels and my homey Jim Bean.

We were kinda blitzed and we were trying to behave Y'all
The singer and their friends were intoxicated but attempting to act appropriately

when in walked a soldier he was from the fuzzy naval.

We were fallin, stumblin, crawlin
The artist and their friends were extremely drunk and struggling to move around

her come da police, Captain Tom Collins,

and the rapper said freeze
The police ordered them to stop

he said "hands in the air and hand over your keys"

now here came Marguarita and her friend Shirley Temple.
Two women arrived at the bar

I asked my friend 'bout Marguarita,

He gave me some advice and it went like this:

I woke up in the morning and felt like a Zombie,
The artist woke up feeling groggy and unwell

You see I woke up late and wasn't feelin' so great,

Yo we walked in the party and started playin our games,
