Feel Bad

A Song for Alcoholics Who Can't Decide How To Feel!

During the first phase of alcoholism, the so-called happy phase, the alcoholic is constantly partying. He or she is still young, the liver is still fighting a successful battle, and life seems like a pice of cake.

This dynamic where the alcoholic has some success, gets it all together, and then blows away all progress in what the AA's called a "spree" back in the late '30's, is documented in legend. This little song is funny, but it describes a process that is devestating...not only to the alcoholic, but, as you can read between the lines of the song, to those closest to the alcoholic as well!

Hope you enjoy "Feel Bad."

Feel Bad.

(Verse I)

Well ev-ry thing's roses

I'm just rollin' a-long

I got a new darlin,'

My heart's got a song

The day's turned sun-ny, hey

I'm feelin' fine.

Ev-ry time this hap-pens

I think it's 'bout time,

(chorus)

'T feel Bad.

Real Bad.

A wor-ry an hour,

Gives you the power

to turn the world upside down,

See it all with a frown,

'An Feel Bad.

Real Bad!

(musical interlude)

(Verse II)

(I) got a pro-mot-ion,  the

Boss sez I'm great!

Ba-by she loves me,

Let's cel-e-brate! Let's

Throw us some par-ty, let's

Tie one on..................

Let's get high to-night, cuz to-

Mor-row I'm goin'.........

'T Feel Bad,

(repeat chorus)

Verse III.

It was a heck of a par-ty

Last-ed three days and nights.

Sev-en-teen kegs, and

Six-teen fights.

I kind-a missed work, and they

Gave me the sack............

(my) Ba-by done left me, says she'll

Ne-ver come back...........

I Feel Bad

(repeat chorus)

(Ending)

I can't worry now,

I wouldn't know how,

Guess it can't get no worse,

Guess I'll go and eat dirt!

and Feed Bad

(repeat chorus)
