From the musical ‘ACE OF DIAMONDS’

Slop it over the rim

Don’t say nothin’ ‘bout the shape that I’m in

Everybody needs a little help now and then

So, pour it out

Put it in

If you need a little somethin’

Ya-oo

Slop it over the rim

Slop it over the sides

Let it rip and let the other one slide

Gonna party with my baby till we

Get it right

So, pour it out

Put it in

We need a little somethin’

Ya-oo

Slop it over the rim

Get what I need no matter what they pay

You can bet your life on that

Say what I mean and I mean what I say

So go, lead, follow or get out of my way

Slide it on down the line

She ain’t pretty but tonight she’ll be mine

Give her my best, tell her

Love is blind

So, pour it out

Put it in

Gonna need a little somethin’

Ya-oo

Slop it over the rim

Slop it over the rim

Runnin’ on empty, so hit me again

Peddle to the metal of the

Thunderin’ wind

So, pour it out

Put it in

When you need a little somethin’

Ya-oo

Slop it over the rim
