The Drunkest Man in the World lyrics

The drunkest man in the world Misunderstands what he's overheard Morose one minute, more toasts the next He's amazing, he's a mess Nevertheless Always well dressed The drunkest man in the world The ones he loves are the ones he hurts He writes his wife every other day He's got a way with words but he's a world away There's a lot to say He forgot today He's my father's favourite poet But you'd never know it The drunkest man in the world Beer on his pants, blood on his shirt Sunken eyed and sallow skinned The life of the party is the death of him
