Beerside Scoundrels - One More Shot of Whiskey

The Beerside Scoundrels performing "One More Shot of Whiskey" at Kansas City Renaissance Festival 2010. This is from the third weekend. Note: By the last weekend, the members and jokes had changed.

LYRICS:

Johnny was a fine young lad though tall and strong and hale
He got on well with everyone so long as they were male
But when a women came about his tongue would tie in knots
And 22 seconds later he was running down the block

So the menfolk got together and said it was a shame
They came up with a simple plan to help him end his pain
Just take a shot of whiskey, boy thats all you need to do
You'll speak with tongues of angels and the women will flock to you

Chorus:

So give me another
The last one has failed
I need some liquid courage lads
Some cider or some ale
One more shot of whiskey boys
Will help me to be bold
And the women will all love me
That's what I have been told

With one shot down his gullet he approached a bonny lass
He boldly spoke of his great love and offered her a glass
He spoke at length of all her charms; she blushed as time did pass
And then her husband happened by and beat poor johnnies ass

So give me another
The last one has failed
I need some liquid courage lads
Well you said that I'd get nailed!
One more shot of whiskey boys
Will help me to be bold
And the women will all love me
That's what I have been told

With two shots now ingested he took a different tack
He spied a pretty lady and he tapped her on her back
Her hair was long and flowing her arms were thin and tan
But when she turned around the mustache showed she was a man

So give me another
The last one has failed
I need some liquid courage lads
And maybe a large pail!
One more shot of whiskey boys
Will help me to be bold
And the women will all love me
That's what I have been told

A third, a forth a fifth shot came and each one ended worse
The men all cringed and wondered if poor Johnny had been cursed
Now no one knows what happened that night of Johnny's strife
But early the next morning he had not 1 but 2 fine wives

So give me another
The last one has failed
I need some liquid courage lads
Some cider or some ale
One more shot of whiskey boys
Will help me to be bold
And the women will all love me
I guarantee twofold!

So give me another
The last one has failed
I need some liquid courage lads
Some cider or some ale
One more shot of whiskey boys
Will help me to be bold
And the women will all love me
That's what I have been told
