Lyrics

Some folks like water,
Some folks like wine,
But I like a taste,
Of straight strychnine,
You may think it's funny,
That I like this stuff,
But once you've tried it,
You can't get enough,
The wine is red,
And poison is blue,
Strychnine is good,
Oh what's a [?] to you,
The wine is red,
And poison is blue,
Strychnine is good,
Oh what's a [?] to you, oh oh oh
If you listen to what I say,
And you try strychnine someday,
Make you choke,
It'll make you shout,
Illegal, and knock you high,
Some folks like water,
Some folks like wine,
But I like the taste,
Of straight strychnine,
Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)
Strychnine (ay ay)
