Whoo, alright
My heater’s broke and I’m so tired
I need some fuel to build a fire
The girl next door, her lights are out, yeah
The landlord’s gone, I’m down and out

Ooh, it’s cold gin time again
You know it’ll always win
Cold gin time again
You know it’s the only thing
That keeps us together, ow

It’s time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
Haha, the cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

Ooh, it’s cold gin time again
You know it’ll always win
It’s cold gin time again
You know it’s the only thing
That keeps us together, ow

Whoa yeah
Ooh, it’s cold gin time again
You know it’ll always win
It’s cold gin time again
You know it’s the only thing
That keeps us together, ow
