The Bartender

Mr. Bourbon and Coke laughs
At all of my jokes when he's drinking
Mr. Martini stares
He never shares what he's thinking

And Ms. Sexy Red Wine tells me at closing time
That she'll phone me
Mr. Whiskey Shot Glass watches hookers walk past
When he's lonely

I'm a bartender
I pour the drinks
Laugh with the sinners
And cry with the saints
And even if they don't remember
I try to make their bar tender

Mr. Never-Does-Tip says that none of his kids
Ever call home
Mrs. Chews-On-Her-Lip tells someone she's at work
On her cell phone
Mrs. Husband-Just-Died always breaks down and cries
On the weekends
Just another long night in a bartender's life
With some good friends

I'm a bartender
I pour the drinks
Laugh with the sinners
And cry with the saints
And even if they don't remember
I try to make their bar tender

And even if they don't remember
I try to make their bar tender
