Whew! I finally made it!
Where's my barstool? Get up, dude!
Gimme a big shot of trouble!
And don't try to start no fued!

I had a rough day and I'm tired --
and so I Just want me a drink!
So, pour me first one and then pour me two
'cause I Just don't want to think!

Hey you guys! Where are the hustlers?
They're usually right over there!
Playing pool with their stick -
'nuff to make a man sick...
so ask me if I care?
Those pool pros make more than I do
slavin' and pushin' all year...
sure, their life is a sham, but
you know who I am...
and I just want a BEER!

Gimme some gin and a bottle of beer
and keep the Jim Beam on hand....
'cause I ain't in the mood
to pretend I ain't crude
and I hope you understand.

I worked all this month for the money
to pay for my house and my kid...
but, lemme tell you, and this ain't funny!
The money don't know what I did!
They gave me a check after I worked all week
and it looked like some petty cash!
I almost just threw it in the damn boss's face
or dropped it right quick in the trash!

Whatcha say, let's have a double!
I'm tired of all of this crap!
I hate to bust your bubble,
but I just want to know what's on tap!
I ain't here for conversation...
unless my bud Toe walks in...
so set up the bar at the Corner Pub
and pass around all of the gin!


-Justin Toxicated

Well don't forget the entertainment, I sang in pubs for years before I was married, and I'm gonna do so here too!! What kind of music do you like Justin? Blues, Hard Rock? The pool table is vacant now...
wanna hang, have a game?

LOL! I also am glad to have the pub around here.

Pssst... have another one, Justin!
Pull up a stool and have a gab...
(Maybe you won't notice that I'm
Putting my drinks on your tab!)
Here, drink up! ... then you won't question
Whether your bill is right.
But rest assured that you won't be all
That's very high tonight!

Entertainment? Now you're talkin!
Sing a soulful tune!
Make it bluesy, jazzy, walkin'
bass to woo the moon!
I could use some mellow singing,
Daughter of Mystery!
(Where'd you get that stage name, Madam?
It should make history!)

And as for you, Miss Suthern lady,
drink all that you wish.
Put it on my tab all night
while I drink like a fish!
Doesn't bother me a lick,
although it can't be healthy...
'cause didn'tcha know the Justin clan
is independently wealthy?

How else do we have the Thyme
to clone and then write rhyme?
Drink and sing Miss barfly ladies!
I'm feeling quite sublime!

JT, that's me

My how long have you been here?
I thought they throw people out
when the place is closing at night.
Seems you've been here for months
are they paying you as well as me?
Your kin are quite distressed
they're not even sure of an address,
they think they're traveling
escaping to some exotic island.
Come with me Justin Toxicated
we'll have you better in no thyme.

Surely your under-rated
you seem of quick wit.
Justin Toxicated
Come on in and rest a bit.
Here's a toast to you sir
and the rhyme that you make -
I'll pick up this tab,
the next two you take.

I'm Justin Toxicated.
I've been here for 4 months!
I think I drank 'bout everything
they have here at least once!

I sat here and I waited
so patiently, Lord knows!
I drank some vodka, drank some gin
but you were all no-shows!

And now it's four months later and
you all show up with smiles!
I have all my cigar butts stacked
in itty bitty piles.

I built a log home with them
on top of Jake's wood bar
and when they reached up to my nose,
Jake took away my car.

He hid my keys inside drawer
and told me not to drive.
And so I ordered once again,
so glad to be alive!

On Christmas I was in here
quite calm, yeah, most sedate.
I waited for my drinking pals,
but damn, you guys are late!

I'm Justin Toxicated.
Sure, buy me one more round!
But next time that you promise
that you're coming, I'm not found!

I'm tellin' you the truth, my friends,
my ass is really sore!
I've sat right on this damn stool
while seasons changed, what's more...

I missed the Y2K come in,
and Thyme's lobotomy!
I'm Justin Toxicated.
I'm drunk 4 months. That's me.
