I used to be a big man I owned most all this town And I was well respected by folks for miles around Then I turned to the bottle lost my home destroyed my name My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame Tonight there'll be no laughter when I tell them how I feel But a man must make his mark in life no matter how unreal For tonight I'll be rewarded for my failure and my shame My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame Tonight I'll dress I'll go downtown to the barroom on skid row My friends will take me by the hand when I reach those swinging doors I'll be the guest of honor when they immortalize my name My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame Tonight there'll be no laughter when I tell them how I feel But a man must make his mark in life no matter how unreal For tonight I'll be rewarded for my failure and my shame My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame My drinking friends elected me to the Alcohol of Fame
