Darling I recognize that glare in your eyes

when I'm about to get the business

But before you complain please let me explain

I think you'll understand my position

You’ve read all those books I know your looks,

You think people who drink solo have problems

But I ain’t drinkin alone

I’m on the phone with my brother

Now my brother it seems is as confounded as me

by the art of the marital tradition

So we drink and we dial and shoot the breeze for a while

Heck it’s just like we were out fishin

And it’s well after nine, it don’t cost us a dime

We think it’s an elegant solution

We ain’t drinkin alone

We’re on the phone with our brother

And the good news is I’m right here for you

As close as the garage

The kegerator and me and AT&T

And my brother if you’d like to say hello

I ain’t drinkin alone

I’m on the phone with my brother

Darling, you are my spouse and you got some rules for our house

And I sure do respect your decisions

But if you just calm down you’ll see that I found

A loophole in the social condition

Well I love beer and I love you

Not necessarily in that order

I ain’t drinkin alone

I’m on the phone with my brother

And the good news is I’m right here for you

As close as the garage

The kegerator and me and AT&T

And my brother if you’d like to say hello

You wouldn’t hear me complain if you did the same

Get some wine and go call your sister

I ain’t drinking alone

I’m on the phone with my brother
