Slippery Slope Songtext
von The Refreshments

Johnny was a drinker, drinking everything he found
Joking and shouting, "Everybody needs a new round"
Last night he could barely stand up ′round last call
Saying, "I gotta quit this place or drinking's gonna be my fall"

And now he′s sitting in the corner looking like he's lost all hope
Trying to get by by saying it's a slippery slope

Jack came back after shooting some real bad stuff
Telling everybody his body has had enough
"I can′t go back to doing what I did before
So goodbye all, I won′t be coming back no more"

And now he's sitting in the corner looking like he′s lost all hope
Trying to get by by saying it's a slippery slope


Chubby was a big boy worrying ′bout the things he ate
Saying, "I'm gonna try a new diet soon and I′ll look just great
No more barbecue ribs, meat burgers and Coke
Next time you see me I'll be skinny and it ain't no joke"

And now he′s sitting in the corner looking like he′s lost all hope
Trying to get by by saying it's a slippery slope

Lucy was a smoker smoking five packs a day
Saying, "I′ve tried long and hard to put them away
For forty long years I've always had one lit
But this is my last and I′m sure I'm gonna quit"

Now she′s sitting in the corner looking like she's lost all hope
Trying to get by by saying it's a slippery slope
Yeah, they′re sitting in the corner looking like they′ve lost all hope
Trying to get by by saying it's a slippery slope
Yeah, trying to get by by saying it′s a slippery slope
