'Cause I'm in my sin
I said, stay away from me everybody
'Cause I'm in my sin

You know I'm beggin' you
Somebody give me my gin

Stay away from me
Unless you wanna big fight
Stay away from me everybody
Unless you wanna get involved in a fight

I'll fight the army and the Royal Navy
If I don't get some gin tonight

Hey, when I'm feeling high
Everythings all right
Hey, when I'm feelin' high
Everything is really all right

Gin is gonna be my wife
For the rest of my life
Give me my gin

I can get a drink of gin
Well, almost any old time
I can get myself a drink of gin, yeah, yeah
Almost any old time

If I can't get myself a drink of gin
I guess I'll have to settle for red wine

I said stay away from me everybody
Unless you wanna start a fight
Yeah, stay away from me everybody
Unless you wanna start a big fight

I'll fight the army and the navy
If I don't get myself some gin tonight
Now, now, now, listen to me baby

Hey, stay away from me everybody
'Cause I'm in my sin
Whoa, stay away from me everybody
'Cause I'm in the sin baby

I'll fight the army and the navy
Somebody, somewhere, give me my gin

'Cause I'm in my sin
I said, stay away from me everybody
