Whiskey & Gin Lyrics - Dance Hall Crashers

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

In the back room of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him 

Everything was hidden by, all the greasy hair he was in 

Never looking up, he seemed so sad, I tried to offer him 

My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin 

We sat there quietly, purposely ignoring the room 

He smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn 

Everlasting glances left open ended chances 

But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me 

In the back room of the bar 

In the back room of the bar 

We made a great couple, me and him 

'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin 

Well, that's the way it is with him 

Hey, hey, hey, yeah 

Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair 

His hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhere 

Took out a photo of an old Romeo 

Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee 

We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet 

He'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie Julep 

Went through an Artillery, Caruso and a Diamond Fizz 

Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark 

In the back room of the bar 

In the back room of the bar 

We made a great couple, me and him 

'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin 

Last call came right at once, glasses were empty and dry 

We got our second wind but all we had was a dime 

Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware 

We jumped over the counter, took off with our hands full of booze 

In the back room of the bar 

In the back room of the bar 

We made a great couple, me and him 

'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks 

In the back room of the bar 

In the back room of the bar 

We made a great couple, me and him 

'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin, he only drinks gin
