as he shuffled along court street
this guy, not many people wanted to meet
he drank his drink, shuffled along
with his only friend John Barleycorn
stumbling and slipping
couldn’t wait till his drink he’d be sipping
a sorry, miserable, grouchy sort of guy
he would guzzle down those Buds
and not remember when or why
‘cause John Barleycorn gave him wings
but took away the sky
then, it happened, just as quick, a miracle in fact
this guy, dug deep, and got the courage to fight back
he wouldn’t let ol’ J. Barleycorn block his way
with perseverance and determination,
not a bit of procrastination, he made a path to AA
you may think this guy a wise old owl
but
this guy is someone who now goes where eagles dare
he’s someone we all love and about whom we care
so let’s give him a great, big Cheer
for all he’s done for us
CONGRATULATIONS
