Lou Reed — The Power of Positive Drinking

[Verse 1] Some like wine and some like hops But what I really love is my scotch It's the power, the power of positive drinking [Verse 2] Some people ruin their drinks with ice And then they, they ask you for advice They tell you, I've never told this to anyone else before [Verse 3] They say, candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters And I don't like mixers or sippers or sob sisters You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down In a bar these days [Verse 4] And then some people drink to unleash their libidos And other people drink to prop up their egos It's my burden, man, people say I have the kind of face you can trust [Chorus] The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking [Verse 5] Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid And I think that's true if you're kind of stupid I'm not that kind that get's himself burned twice [Verse 6] And some say liquor kills the cells in your head And for that matter so does getting out of bed When I exit, I'll go out gracefully, shot in my hand [Chorus] The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
