Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah Uppers & Downers
(Live Recording) Letras:
[The band chats through the intro.] 1
Down in front. As much as I love everybody here.
[There is rhythmic clapping from the audience.]

Uppers and downers is bad for you,
They ain't like a-drinkin' wine.
Uppers and downers put the whammy on you,
Git you every time.
I ain't sayin' I never done 'em before,
Sure as hell ain't gonna do 'em no more.
Uppers and downers is bad for you,
They ain't like a-drinkin' wine.

Had a friend crazy for reds,
Nothin' bothered him at all, ya-da.
All the same, when he left some place,
Use the door, use the wall.
And about four days out of every week,
He couldn't remember what he'd done,
But he knew that downs was a-where it's at,
And havin' so much fun.

All together now! (Hee-haw!)

((Uppers and downers is bad for you,))
((They ain't like drinkin' wine,)) oh, no.

((They git you every time.))/

[Someone in the audience shouts something inaudible.]

Cigarettes, they are bad for you too,
But Marijuana's fine. ((Yeeeeee!))
[Everyone sort of sings the la-da-das with some freelancing.]
((Ya-la-da, da-da, da-da,))
((La-la-dada-da, la-da, da (da),))
((La-la-la-la, la-dada-dada-da,))
((Da-lada-dada-da, a-la-da-da-da-da,))
((Da, da, da, la-da-da-da.))

[One of the band members says,
"Goodnight Chet," to a patron leaving the bar.]
((They git you every time.))

Oh, no, no.
((Ain't like drinkin' wine.))
Go ahead, pot smokin'...
((Ain't like drinkin' wine.))

[Howling & belching, audience laughs.]

[Spoken:]
I am a musician. That was my music.
[Laughing.]
Very expressive.
