Lyrics
Old John Barleycorn has gone away,
Some wise guys figure that he’s gone to stay.
Tho’ you wail, foot on rail,
All you’re gonna get is ginger ale,
Swell cafes are gonna close up tight,
But the lights will be burnin’ bright
At the good old soda fountain,
On the drugstore we’re still countin’--

CHORUS
Hurry on down to the good pill store,
Order a peruna, order three or four,
Get lit up with swamp root tea,
Lydia Pinkham’s, one two three.
Paregoric cocktails are full of jazz,
Make you shout hooray.
Have a little shot of Coca Cola,
Put a jazzy needle in the old Victrola,
A chill tonic quiver is the latest shiver
At the drugstore cabaret.
Cream of tartar rickies are full of jazz,
They make you shut hooray,
A hair tonic fizz with a malted milk
Will make your sweet patootie
Show her socks of silk.
You’ll see Jane and Jimmie
Do the latest shimmie
At the drugstore cabaret.
