[Verse 1]
I've got an eight dollar bottle of wine
Picked it up on sale in the checkout line
Oh it looked pretty good to me
Made somewhere in California
For that price honey how bad could it be?

[Verse 2]
I've just got one glass but we can share
The first drink is yours, honey I don't care
Leave the corkscrew in the drawer
It's all in the wrist
Honey give that top a twist
And she's ready to pour
Oh, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Let's drink and be merry
I'll laugh at you, you laugh at me
Don't take it all so seriously
It's only as bad as you think
You'll like it more the more you drink

[Verse 3]
Oh, it' a complicated thing
Makes the preacher yell and the choir sing
But you'll learn to love the bittersweet
Breathing out and breathing in
Drinking slow oh satisfactions guaranteed
It's an eight dollar bottle of wine
Just a sip and I'm twice as fine
Drunk in the wonder of it all
The watchful eye over the vine
The gentle hands above the fruit before the fall
Oh, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Let's drink and be merry
I'll laugh at you, you laugh at me
Don't take it all so seriously
It's only as bad as you think
'Cause you'll like it more the more you drink
[Bridge]
I'm on a low budget

[Chorus]
Let's drink and be merry
I'll laugh at you, you laugh at me
Don't take it all so seriously
It's only as bad as you think
'Cause you'll like it more the more you drink
Let's drink and be merry
I'll laugh at you, you laugh at me
Don't take it all so seriously
It's only as bad as you think
'Cause you'll like it more the more you drink
