One Cat, One Vote, One Beer Lyrics - Cooder Ry

Hey bartender, what you say 

I'm gonna get drunk on election day! 

Want one glass of bourbon, one glass rye 

Come on, set me up, Joe, don't pas me by 

My money's alright, but my feets got sore 

See, I've been tryin' to vote, now 'bout an hour or more 

I tried, but I didn't get nowhere 

Joe, you know I just don't think they are doing this voting fair and square 

Better make it one cat, one vote, and one beer 

Bartender, one cat, one vote, and one beer 

See, I went downtown to the votin' room 

'Cause I wanted to get my voting done soon 

Man said, "Now we're gonna have to do a little checkin' on you" 

Come back a little later on and said, 

"Well, Buddy, you know your vote just can't go through 

Says you've been dead, ten years back. We're sure not gonna take a vote off a, a dead red cat" 

"What you say?" 

"Step aside now, you're interfering with the election process, that's a crime" 

"The crime is you!" 

"Well, Buddy, votin' is just something I don't think you're going to do" 

One cat, one vote, and one beer 

Ain't that a shame 

One cat, one vote, and one beer 

Bartender! 

I'm gonna drink a little gin and some mellow wine 

Then I'm gonna try that voting machine out just one more time 

'Cause democracy is in our hands, but it's slipping through our fingers just like sand 

Now I'm worried for you, sure worried for me, watching the election comin' round on the T.V. 

Voting's closed, we already lost the race 

Might as well meet me down to Little Joe's Place 

Make it one cat, one vote, and one beer 

Dog my cats you know 

I guess just make it one cat, one vote, and one beer 

One cat, and one vote, and one beer 

Bartender
