Wasted Was Ted

there’s a guy i call him Ted
who lives inside my head
and if you ever met him
then you may be dead

i don’t much like him
but once he saved my life
and now he says i owe him
so i’m drinking tonight ………….so i’m drinking tonite

wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted was I

Ted buys the bar a round
don’t know where he gets the dough
but after each and every pint
he says just one more
i say “hey where are we going?
how we gonna get home?”
he runs and leaps like a madman
screaming “leave me alone” …….leave me alone

wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted was I

i can go for days, for weeks, sometimes even months
without seeing hide nor hair
of Ted not even once but as soon as i find my feet
and breathe a relieved sigh Ted, from out of the blue
comes crashing like the sky ……..comes crashing like the sky

wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted, wasted was Ted was I
