I went to the bar just the other night To check out a few of my friends I'm just an everyday workin' guy And I don't always follow the trends
I stepped up and ordered a shot and a beer But the bartender acted like he didn't hear I had 20 bucks that I just couldn't seem to spend The waitress there called me a square
The cats playin' pool called me a fool I couldn't figure out what the trouble could be Then I began to see
Chorus: Everybody there was drinkin' martinis but me Everytime I said hi they got up and started to leave I felt like mud drinkin' a bud Threw out a line but it was a dud Everybody there was drinkin' martinis but me
They're in a cute little glass on a stem that says "please try me" But I took a little sip one time And I thought it was slimy A funny little drink tiny and cold Served in a glass that's hard to hold But they sure look good standin' there wet and shiney
They're not long as a beer or quick as a shot Or nearly as hip as a single malt scotch For a workin' stiff they sure cost a lot And I can't buy many with the money I got, but Chorus.
