Lou Reed The Power of Positive Drinking song lyrics

Some like wine and some like hops

but what I really love is my scotch

It's the power, the power of positive drinking

Some people ruin their drinks with ice

and then they, they ask you for advice

They tell you, I've never told anyone else before

They say, Candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters

and I don't like mixers, or sippers or sob sisters

You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down

in a bar these days

And then some people drink to unleash their libidos

and other people drink to prop up their egos

It's my burdon, man, people say

I have the kind of face you can trust

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid

and think that's true if you're kind of stupid

I'm not that kind that get's himself burned twice

And some say liquor kills the cells in your head

and for that matter so does getting out of bed

When I exit, I'll go out gracefully, shot in my hand

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive

the pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
