Fetch Me A Margarita

How could I be so foolish
To think it wouldn’t come to this
Every time I go out with these two
I seem to always end up ditched
Sure it starts off OK I guess
But then they up and find a pond or lake
Then it’s heck with Red, let’s play fetch instead
Now I gotta fend for myself, so
Fetch me a margarita
Why do I hang out with these fools
Fetch me a margarita
These two got the smarts of a puddle of drool
<fiddle solo>
Now they’re coming back around
Maybe we’ll finally get to hang
All of a sudden time for another round
Should have known it’d be the same ol’ thing
I love to hike and relax in the woods
But they’re just too distracted I guess
They’re just all wet and I’d surely bet
That they’ll just make another mess, so
Fetch me a margarita
Why do I keep doing this to myself
Fetch me a margarita
Ol’ red just ends up on the shelf
Fetch me a margarita
Maybe at least throw me a bone
Fetch me a margarita
I think it’s time to go home…
Fetch me a margarita
Why do I hang out with these fools
Fetch me a margarita
These two got the smarts of a puddle of drool

Intro (spoken:)
Finished with his margarita, Red waits for the others to rejoin for an afternoon hike, but they insist on staying by the water and splashing around. Miffed, Red wanders off and happens upon a flask of bourbon probably dropped by a group of hikers who have long disappeared. He takes a squirt and, fueled by a newfound liquid courage, sets off up the trail up the hill surrounding the lake. It’s beautiful but can be treacherous due to the numerous rattlesnakes. At first he’s resolute and charges forward, but as the day wears on, he begins to have second thoughts…
Verse 1:
Sippin’ on this margarita, bottom of the glass is comin’ in sight
At the rate my friends are going I’m just gonna be sittin’ here until the night
Look here’s a flask of booze, let’s say what the hell
Gonna mozy right on up this steep rocky trail
Chorus:
Devil’s Lake whiskey bound
Got my 4 feet on the ground
Devil’s Lake whiskey bound
The other 2 ain’t comin’ round
Got to get away and clear my head for a while
The rattlesnakes are deadly but the Turkey is wild
Devil’s Lake…whiskey bound
Verse 2:
Well hey this ain’t so bad, the view is really something from this rock
But those no-good friends of mine are still right down there hanging by the dock
Still I keep walking on despite lurking threats
Another squirt of courage and I’m sure I’ll have no regrets
Chorus
Guitar Solo
End Chorus:
Devil’s Lake whiskey bound
Got my 4 feet on the ground
Devil’s Lake whiskey bound
Why won’t the other two come around
The darkness is looming and I think I’ve gone wrong
The rattlesnakes are rattlin’ and the Turkey’s all gone
Devil’s Lake…

Verse 1
Been on this trail chasing my tail
Wonderin’ why my friends weren’t comin’ round
Those rattlesnakes in the rocks were gettin’ agitated, I’m frustrated
You know it’s not a really encouraging sound
I’m really hoping that they’ll come looking round here to find me
‘Cos we’ll be back together and then everything will be better
Chorus
The best of friends, until the end
There is nothing better to be found
A sweet reunion, there’s no confusion
There’ll be margaritas all around
Verse 2
What’s that I hear, the cries of cheer
I can feel my little spirit start to lift
And here they come, in a happy run
Now let’s just forget all ‘bout this rift
Let’s all just go back on down to the shore
Let’s break out the limes and the tequila and more!
Chorus
Bridge
These two can drive me right plum crazy
What’s a dog like me to do?
But in the end we are inseparable
So let’s raise a glass, hell the humans can have one too!
Solo
Repeat chorus 2X
