Barlight - (Life Of The Party) Song Lyrics
Barlight - (Life Of The Party) by 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
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 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
