Lou Reed
The Power of Positive Drinking
[Verse 1]
Some like wine and some like hops
But what I really love is my scotch
It's the power, the power of positive drinking
[Verse 2]
Some people ruin their drinks with ice
And then they, they ask you for advice
They tell you, I've never told this to anyone else before
[Verse 3]
They say, candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters
And I don't like mixers or sippers or sob sisters
You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down
In a bar these days
[Verse 4]
And then some people drink to unleash their libidos
And other people drink to prop up their egos
It's my burden, man, people say
I have the kind of face you can trust
[Chorus]
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
[Verse 5]
Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid
And I think that's true if you're kind of stupid
I'm not that kind that get's himself burned twice
[Verse 6]
And some say liquor kills the cells in your head
And for that matter so does getting out of bed
When I exit, I'll go out gracefully, shot in my hand
[Chorus]
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
