Intro: verse 1 I was sittin' in a chair at the H&R Block. Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock. Said, "I've tallied up your numbers for the end of the year, And son, you've spent a small fortune on liquor and beer." I said it's ; Cheaper than a shrink. You don't have to think. You just pour and drink. It's sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack, No pouring out your heart to some high-dollar quack. Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done. And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun. And it's cheaper than a shrink. You don't have to think. You just pour and drink. Aw, it's cheaper than a shrink. Riff verse 2 Now me and her had this little problem between us. Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus. She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor." I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of twelve-ouncers." 'Cause it's ; Cheaper than a shrink. You don't have to think. You just pour and drink. About eighteen bucks 'll get you four six-packs. No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack. Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done. And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun. And it's cheaper than a shrink. You don't have to think. You just pour and drink. Yeah, it's cheaper than a shrink. verse 3 If liquor prices soared as high as gasoline, I'd a quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen. It's the oldest most proven form of therapy. The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's ; Cheaper than a shrink. You don't have to think. You just pour and drink. And it's cheaper than a shrink. Aw, you just pour and drink. And it's a whole lot cheaper Than some big town, clock hound, drag you down shrink.
