It was an excellent 

Rocky Point saloon

for this local

ne'er do well:

 

It had a perfectly level 

well-lit pool table,

an excellent juke box,

15-cent beer on tap,

and 

it was within walking distance

of home for those occasions

when I got tapped out

and toppled over

 

I spent as much money

on beer

as I did 

on the jukebox

 

In 1973,

a new song

had an intriguing title:

THE GREAT FILLING STATION 

HOLD-UP

 

Here are some 

of the lyrics:

 

We got fifteen dollars 

and a can of STP
 

A big ole jar of cashew nuts 

and a Japanese TV

 
Feelin' we had pulled 

the biggest heist of our career, 

we're wanted men-we'll strike again!
 

But first let's have a beer.

__________ 

The song was written 

and recorded by

Jimmy Buffet

and the b-side

is known to anyone

who has ever attended

one of his concerts

 

Its title is

WHY DON'T WE GET DRUNK

AND SCREW
