On the Way to the Bottom Songtext
von Dr. Hook

On the way to the bottom, I met an old friend of mine
He said, "Buddy, I do believe this is the end of the line"
I said, "The end of the line? Shu, come on and have another round
And if we′re headin' for the bottom, we still got a long way down"

On the way to the bottom, we make a lot of stops
Yeah, and we′d meet a lot of fools bustin' their hopes on the way to the top
Pass me another bottle and turn down the lights
Forget about tomorrow, babe, we're gonna rumble tonight
I′ll wear my low heeled boots, you′ll wear your taffeta gown
And if we're heading for the bottom, we′ll go laughing all the way down


On the way to the bottom, I met an ol' girl of mine, ha
She said "Honey, I′m scared, won't you love me one more time?"
I said, "One more time? Shu, about a million more
We had a whole lotta loving and a whole lot more in store"

On the way to the bottom, we make a lot of stops
Yeah, we′d meet a lot of fools just bustin' their hopes on the way to the top
Pass me another bottle, come on and turn down the lights
Come on, forget about tomorrow, babe, we're gonna rumble tonight
I′ll wear my low heeled boots, yeah, you′ll wear your taffeta gown
And if we're heading for the bottom, we′ll go laughing all the way down
Come on, now let's go, we′ll go laughing all the way down

Come on laughing all the way down
Laughing all the way to the bottom
Laughing, but laughing all down
We laughing, laughing all down, come on down
We gonna laugh down, down, down, eh
