Spoken by Roger:
Excuse Miss, could I buy you a cocktail?
You're so pretty and I just love the way that you...hey
Are those real? Huh? Oh, no I mean your eyes, of course
They're so beautiful and hey, where you going?
Chorus
Spoken by Radney:
Roger, there are existential, physical and spiritual reasons
Why man cannot live by bread alone
It's not a simple thing in life
It's very complex, it takes a long time and it's excellent

Instrumental
Spoken by Roger:
Now a friend of mine that drinks an alarming amount
Tells me it's not what goes in a man's mouth that defiles him but rather what comes out
So as I sit her tonight, I worry not about what I'm drinking
But rather how much I'm speaking ?cause it seems every time
Chorus (Both)
