                        So don't take my bottle away

  (same as chorus)
      Well, they taught it's for the body
      I heard my neighbour say
      So I went down to his kitchen
      And we drank the day away

                        Too late, too late to be sober
                        Too late, too late today
                        Too late, too late to be sober
                        So don't take my bottle away
                                      *Solo*   (verse)

      When we got to the end of the bottle
      Well, we staggered to his car
      And we drove down to the beer store
      For to get us another jar

                        Too late, too late to be sober
                        Too late, too late today
                        Too late, too late to be sober
                        So don't take my bottle away
                                      *Solo*   (verse)

      Well, we got stopped by the police
      Made us blow into a little plastic pipe
      Well, they took away my bottle and my license
      Said, for drivin' you're just far too ripe

                        Too late, too late to be sober
                        Too late, too late today
                        Too late, too late to be sober
                            G                      D          G
                        So don't take my bottle away...
