"Favorite Bar" lyrics

"Favorite Bar"

Do you have a favorite bar?
We can play pool with strangers
Maybe wear some lipstick and not be in danger
Of getting beat up in the men's room

Do you have a favorite bar?
The bartender's German
He only understands the names of liquors in the German language
Doesn't watch the TV 'cause it's over his head
But he was in the Olympics
You can ask him

Do you have a favorite bar?
Where you can drink yourself under the table
And they know you're there
So they won't lock you in
They don't take all your money
When you're completely insensible
They leave you your dignity
You can play The 5th Dimension on the jukebox
