Barlight - (Life Of The Party)

Charlie Robison

Well, when I was young my momma read me

Nursery rhymes beside my bed

And though they sounded mighty fine

They made no sense to me

But now that I am all grown up

It seems my nights have changed such

So I went out and made me up

A nursery rhyme for me

It goes, "Barlight, bar bright

First bar that I see tonight

Wish I may, wish I might

Find someone to hold me tight"

"Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle

And the girls sings along with the tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon"

You know I never understood how a big ole gal

Could raise no kids in a shoe

And any old jack goes jumping a candle

Needs to find something better to do

And a rub a dub dub 3 men in a tub

Sure sounds kinda funny to me

So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme

And it's the only one I'll sing

It goes, "Barlight, bar bright

First bar that I see tonight

Wish I may, wish I might

Find someone to hold me tight"

"Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle

And the girls sings along with the tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon"

I said I never understood how a big ole gal

And any old jack goes jumping a candle

And it's the only one I'll sing

It goes, "Barlight, bar bright

Wish I may, wish I might

Find someone to hold me tight"

"Hey diddle diddle a man with a fiddle

And the girls sings along with the tune

Just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon"

I said just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon

I said just a one more dance 'til you turn out the lights

And you can shut down this saloon
