Scotch and Listerine

From the moment I first met her I was walking in a dream

She could love me like no tomorrow and I treated her like a queen

Til I found her kissing another man, there was accusations and screams

As I stormed out her front door I grabbed the scotch and Listerine

I still miss our nights together, but that’s just between you and me, and

I’d take her back tomorrow, but sometimes I’d treat her mean

See I don’t love her, I don’t hate her, I’m somewhere in between

Til I get my act together, I need a little scotch and Listerine

CHORUS

Scotch and Listerine, it’s what’s getting me by

Never really sober, never really high

I’m working my way through the pain, it’s a temporary thing

Getting by day to day with a little scotch and Listerine

My boss called me to his office, said my work ain’t what it’s been

I told him ‘bout my problems with this woman I’d been seeing

I convinced him I’d do better, I pulled it off so clean

Thanks to the bottles in the back of my desk drawer, of scotch and Listerine

Well I met this girl this morning while I was buying a magazine

She thought I was cute and funny, she was pretty as I’ve ever seen

I got a date tomorrow night, it may be time to change my scene

I’m seeing light at the end of this tunnel of scotch and Listerine

CHORUS

Scotch and Listerine, it’s what’s getting me by

Never really sober, never really high

I’m working my way through the pain, it’s a temporary thing

Getting by day to day with a little scotch and Listerine
