GOOD AND READY

Captain Bobby left the infirmary, Detox was on his mind;

To get in the mood, just a couple of bottles, one last time to unwind...

"Got to get straight!", he thought, "Or I'm gonna die!";

Figured this gallon of Firewater, before he went in,"This autta get me high!". 

So, he came to the Detox center, they asked, "What ya got in the case?"

Bobby said, "I got just enough here, to get us all shitfaced!"

"You can't bring that in here", as she pointed to the door. ;

Either pour it out or leave, we're not asking you anymore?

So, he left with his bottles, found a curve down the street;

A place where Gangs and Losers gathered, a place where they like to meet!

They saw him with his bottles, slamming them hard where he sat;
Some Goons wanted what he had, and approached him with a Bat!

Captain Bobby was in no mood to scuffle, but when it came to his bottle;
He removed their Bat, Beat them to the ground, then down the street full throttle...

Seems the Police got a little curious, bunch of Losers laying in a pile;
They came up to him, "Say, you did all that, then come stay with us a while!"

But, they could not take him to jail, the Captain was plenty fried;
So, to the Hospital he went, his bottles checked in, "I want those back!", he testified.

After a couple of hours, he finally came to, it was time for his release;
As he was leaving, he stopped all his complaining, when his bottles were returned by the Police!

So, finally he was back where he started, standing out the rehab once more;
He said, "It's Final Call, I'm emptying those damn bottles, before I hit that door!"

So, finally he finished his Hooch, nerves all good and steady;
And Son of a Gun, he blew a Point thirty-one, Captain Bobby was Good And Ready!
