One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer Lyrics
I wanna tell you a story
About the house-man blues
I come home on Friday
Had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job
[SHANNON]
Uh um
She said, that don't confront me
Long as I get my money next Friday
[WILL]
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
And out the door I went
[SHANNON & WILL]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
[WILL]
Well, I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose
Need me a triple shot of that juice
Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
[SHANNON & WILL]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer, HAH!
[SHANNON]
I ain't seen my baby since the night before last
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
[SHANNON & WILL, (WILL)]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
(I want all that!)
[WILL]
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
[SHANNON & WILL, (SHANNON), {WILL}]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer (YEAH!)
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer {C'MON NOW}
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
{Yeah baby, drinks on me!}
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer, HAH!
[SHANNON]
I ain't seen my baby since the night before last
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
[SHANNON & WILL, (WILL)]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
(I want all that!)
[WILL]
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
[SHANNON & WILL, (SHANNON), {WILL}]
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer (YEAH!)
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer {C'MON NOW}
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
{Yeah baby, drinks on me!}
About
Song Bio
This much-covered blues standard originally recorded by Amos Milburn and popularized by John Lee Hooker’s version seems an odd choice for a show about high school students.
The song is featured in “Blame It on the Alcohol”, the fourteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Shannon Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) and Will (Matthew Morrison).
