Barney

Frances Rhodes

You could take Barney out of the barroom
But you can't take the bar out of Barney

Barney likes to smoke them filter-tipped cigarettes
And if he can't get a blonde, then he'll take a brunette
And all the Wallys drinking from a pop-top can
He'll be telling lies to a cute redhead
With a smile on his lips and a drink in his hand
That's how you can always recognize my man
Barney's plenty ugly with his eyes all red
So bring him on home and I'll put him to bed

You could take Barney out of thе barroom
But you can't take the bar out of Barney

Barnеy wins playing with a dice that he throws
But the one-arm bandits get a lot of his dough
To win a game of cards, well, he might have to cheat
But he'll give to a buddy gettin' back on his feet
Ah, that's my Barney sittin' there, hardly able
To brag he can drink us under the table
I've seen him lots of times high as a kite
They put him in jail for tryin' to fight

You could take Barney out of the barroom
But you can't take the bar out of Barney

Come on, Barney, let's go home
Barney, it's gettin' late
Will somebody please help me get him out of here?
