Jerry On Ice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jerry got a gut, but he wears it like a crown Retired on paper, still the wildest in the town Says, “I’m off the clock,” then he’s back on the scene One hand on the cooler, one hand on the queen He don’t do mornings, he do round two He can walk in sober, but he won’t stay true Got a folding chair throne and a grin so wide By the time he says hello, the room’s on his side [Pre-Chorus] He’s got the stories, got the moves, got the jokes that land But if the cups run dry, man, he can’t quite stand He needs that little buzz to unlock the main event Jerry’s sixty-something, still the last one left [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, bring the pour Jerry, Jerry, ask for more Life of the party, that’s his role Can’t run the show on an empty bowl Jerry, Jerry, raise your cup Jerry, Jerry, fill me up He’s the first one laughing, first one gone Jerry, Jerry, carry on [Verse 2] He’ll party anywhere, in a basement or a hall With cousins, with neighbors, with a crew he just met at all He’ll dance with anybody, slide in with a toast Tell three bad jokes and then he’ll brag he hosted most He’s friendly, he’s flashy, he’s pure Saturday night But when the bottle goes quiet, he don’t feel right He’s all “one more round,” then he’s back on his feet Like a grandpa-shaped comet with a bartender’s beat [Pre-Chorus] He’s got the charm, got the spark, got a wink and a plan But he needs a little amber just to play the man When the buzz starts talking, he’s the king of the floor When it fades, he’s already asking for more [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, bring the pour Jerry, Jerry, ask for more Life of the party, that’s his role Can’t run the show on an empty bowl Jerry, Jerry, raise your cup Jerry, Jerry, fill me up He’s the first one laughing, first one gone Jerry, Jerry, carry on [Bridge] Yeah, he’s older, got a belly, got a legend to defend He can light up any room and make ten strangers friends But the joke turns real when the bottle’s out of sight So somebody keep him smiling through the whole damn night [Chorus] Jerry, Jerry, bring the pour Jerry, Jerry, ask for more Life of the party, that’s his role Can’t run the show on an empty bowl Jerry, Jerry, raise your cup Jerry, Jerry, fill me up He’s the first one laughing, first one gone Jerry, Jerry, carry on
