Alone At The Party I'm alone at the party and I'm talkin' to Jose and I'm tellin' him 'bout how my baby went away. She just up and left me with my best friend Ray, so you see, I don't have much to live for today. But Jose says, "C'mon, I can make you feel better. I've got something here that'll help you forget her. Trust me. I can chase all your troubles away." And it's no use arguing with Jose. You know how he always gets his way. And now my head's spinning as the world turns again. They say that someday the world's gonna end. Well, if the world's gotta end, then let it end today. Let the angels come down and take it all away. I've got nothing to live for, no reason to stay now that my baby's gone and I'm alone at the party. I'm alone at the party and I'm talkin' to Jack and I'm sayin', "I don't think my baby's comin' back. I just know it's over. What more can I say? That son of a bitch, he took her away." Then Jack smiles and says, "I don't mean to sound crass, but there's no use fretting over a little piece of ass. All you need's in the bottom of this glass." And when I try to tell him that I really did love her, he just shakes his head, "You'd better have another." And it's no use arguing with Jack. My baby's never coming back. And now my head's spinning as the world turns again. They say that someday the world's gonna end. Well, if the world's gotta end, then let it end today. Let the angels come down and take it all away. I've got nothing to live for, no reason to stay now that my baby's gone and I'm alone at the party. And I - I used to be someone. And I used to be special, and I used to be loved, and I used to believe in the heavens above. But then - Then He came along and everything started to go wrong. And I suppose that's the point of this song. Now my baby's gone and I'm alone at the party. We're alone at the party, Captain Morgan and me. We've been here a while and we're startin' to get silly. How many is a Duck? Unicorns are horny. Albatross! Albatross! She turned me into a Newt. And you can't teach an Elephant to play Scrabble. But then I stop laughin' and start cryin' again, and nothin' really matters, my world's at an end. The Captain just winks, "You'd better have another, and another and another and another." And it's no use arguing with The Captain. No, it's no ushe arging with The Captain. And now my head's spinning as the world turns again. They say that someday the world's gonna end. Well, if the world's gotta end, then let it end today. Let the angels come down and take it all away. I've got nothing to live for, no reason to stay now that my baby's gone and I'm alone at the party. Yeah, my baby's gone and I'm alone at the party. Mark Sebring (2009) Bozo Must Die‼ 🥃

This is a song about an alcoholic.
The three people he talks to while drinking alone are Jose Cuervo, Jack Daniels, and Captain Morgan.

It was Friday night and I was feelin' fine.
I'd drunk a little beer and drank a little wine.
I think I had some whiskey too.
And then about a quarter to two
I decided to go to my baby's house.
I tiptoed there as quiet as a mouse.
Then I banged on the door as loud as sin
And yelled "Come on baby. Let me come in!"

Mark Sebring (from "Friday Night At The Zoo", 2009)

Well, we have all gone through heartaches at one point or another, but it's important to not let yourself sink. There's a lot more fish in this sea of life, and someone who will treasure you will come along when you least expected. Always be your good self!
