Bootleg, bootleg, Bootleg, howl. Take you a glass of water Make it against the law. See how good the water tastes When you can't have any at all. Findin' a natural woman, Like honey to a bee. But you don't buzz the flower.

Nobody knows you when you're down and out. Nobody knows you, Once I lived the life of a millionaire, Spent all my money, I just did not care. Took all my friends out for a good time, Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine. Then I began to fall so

Bootleg, bootleg, Bootleg, howl. Take you a glass of water Make it against the law. See how good the water tastes When you can't have any at all. Findin' a natural woman, Like honey to a bee. But you don't buzz the flower.
