To get a drink you have to sell
To get a drink you have to sell
Sold my sweetheart’s hat I did
Sold my sweetheart’s hat I did
Sold it off for five cents cash
Spent it to get good ’n smashed
Took a tumble on my face
Lost my tuque without a trace
Oh boy! I’m tickled pink
I’ve got money for a drink (repeat)
To get a drink you have to sell
To get a drink you have to sell
Sold my sweetheart’s dress I did
Sold my sweetheart’s dress I did
Sold it off for five cents cash
Spent it to get good ’n smashed
Took a tumble on my face
Lost my tuque without a trace
Oh boy! I’m tickled pink
I’ve got money for a drink (repeat)
To get a drink you have to sell
To get a drink you have to sell
Sold my sweetheart’s shoes I did
Sold my sweetheart’s shoes I did
Sold ‘em off for five cents cash
Spent it to get good ’n smashed
Took a tumble on my face
Lost my tuque without a trace
Oh boy! I’m tickled pink
I’ve got money for a drink (repeat)
To get a drink you have to sell
To get a drink you have to sell
Sold my sweetheart’s coat I did
Sold my sweetheart’s coat I did
Sold it off for five cents cash

Took a tumble on my face
Lost my tuque without a trace
Oh boy! I’m tickled pink
I’ve got money for a drink (repeat)
To get a drink you have to sell
To get a drink you have to sell
Sold my sweetheart’s gloves I did
Sold my sweetheart’s gloves I did
