Lyrics
- Way out on the desert
Way out on the desert
Way out on the desert
Not a drop to drink
Chorus
Oh, wish I had a drink
Wish I had a drink
Just a little drink or two
Can’t we have a drink
Just a little drink
Any little drink will do
If I had a drink
Just a little drink
Then I wouldn’t feel so blue
Don’t you really think
We ought to have a drink
Just a little drink with you
- Mouth is full of cotton
Mouth is full of cotton
Mouth is full of cotton
Oh for just one drink - Host please do your duty
Host please do your duty
Host please do your duty
How about a drink
Ending
How dry I am, I want a drink
