<o:p></o:p>
Once upon a <st1:time Hour="0" Minute="0">midnight</st1:time> scary
as I wandered drunk and weary,<o:p></o:p>
My can of bud ever so handy,<o:p></o:p>
Stumbling along, mumbling a song, <o:p></o:p>
thinking, hoping, praying for one more chivas regal
to make this blackout a dandy<o:p></o:p>
“A drink, just one more”
I hear some bird say so clearly<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
My vision blurring, my speech is slurring<o:p></o:p>
as another bloodymary I am pouring<o:p></o:p>
“Who the heck is that” I mumbled <o:p></o:p>
guzzling a gallo port I stumbled,
gently stumbled<o:p></o:p>
As suddenly there came to my chamber door<o:p></o:p>
A banging, a gentle banging<o:p></o:p>
Almost a clanging as my head starts spinning,<o:p></o:p>
a gentle spinning,<o:p></o:p>
once again, my sweet lenore <o:p></o:p>
John Barleycorn is winning<o:p></o:p>
“A drink, just one more" I hear some bird say so clearly<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
“I’ll be there in a second” I mutter<o:p></o:p>
My chamber now seems so full of darkness,<o:p></o:p>
my life seems so hopeless, <o:p></o:p>
my song is so pointless<o:p></o:p>
“why don’t this bird stop rapping,
a gently rapping.<o:p></o:p>
leave me in my misery,<o:p></o:p>
a gentle misery, forevermore” I stutter<o:p></o:p>
“A drink, just one more ---- NEVERMORE” I hear some bird barely
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
again I hear a knocking;
it begins to seem so shocking;<o:p></o:p>
as I look around my chamber, <o:p></o:p>
all my possessions I am hocking; <o:p></o:p>
all my friends and foes away from me are flocking;<o:p></o:p>
even I realize now, I need, to my head, <o:p></o:p>
a good knocking; <o:p></o:p>
a gentle knocking;<o:p></o:p>
To stop the havoc, the dismay, the rebellion,
the terrible scorn<o:p></o:p>
that has been brought to my life by John Barleycorn
“a drink, just one more---------NEVERMORE”<o:p></o:p>
I hear some bird say ever so clearly<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
In my soul a light begins to flicker, <o:p></o:p>
a gentle flicker<o:p></o:p>
As I start walking to my door <o:p></o:p>
ever so quicker<o:p></o:p>
My bourbon on the rocks to the floor, I start pouring
I no longer want to be a drunkard boring
As my heart begins to start a-pounding,
a gentle pounding<o:p></o:p>
A new courage I am founding <o:p></o:p>
as I grasp the doorknob, now I feel a yearning,<o:p></o:p>
I will open myself to a new learning<o:p></o:p>
the door opens and there before me <o:p></o:p>
two gentlemen so tall standing <o:p></o:p>
“Good evening, sir, I’m Dr. Bob,
we’ve come to help you once more”<o:p></o:p>
and then the other fellow looked at me so sternly <o:p></o:p>
as he shook my hand so firmly<o:p></o:p>
“we’re here to take you to AA, my name is Bill”<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
as they slipped my coat over my shoulders, and helped me down the stairs from my chamber door<o:p></o:p>
I felt determined, we can do this, I felt alone no more<o:p></o:p>
“a drink, just one more------ NEVERMORE”<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
