Hemingway's whiskey warm and smooth and mean*
Even when it burns it will always finish clean
He did not like it watered down he took it straight up and neat
If it's bad enough for him you know it's bad enough for me

Sometime nothing works sometimes nothing shines
Hemingway's whiskey

Sail away sail away as the day grows dim
Live hard die hard this ones for him
