Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine

You might think it's funny
That I like this stuff
Once you've tried it
You can't get enough

Chorus:
Wine is red, poison's blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailing you

Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine

Chorus

If you listen to what I say
You're gonna try Strychnine someday
Make you jump, make you shout
It'll even knock you out
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
