Don't Know What It Is on YouTube

Another drinking song. This one is about the man in the mirror whom the man doesn't recognize. Again, not autobiographical so don't feel bad for me –at least not for this, Hans had a similar theme, and so did MJ, but his was more directed to everyone else.

Don't Know What It Is

Don't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the water.
It's got a shinny head.
It's sticking out it's tongue every once in a while,
but now I think it's dead.
I pack my fish and go. M'moonshine's gettting low.
Mosey on home to bed.

Don't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the kitchen.
It's swimming in the sink.
I think it stole my hooch that was hidden in the closet,
and has that swampy stink.
I jump back in my car, and head back to the bar
for sumpin' strong to drink.

The barmaid smiles and asks if I am okay. I tell her I'm just fine.
I know there's somethin' strange goin' on in my head.
I may have lost my mind.

I don't know what it is, but there's somethin' in the mirror
that seems to know my biz.
It's staring back at me with its bloodshot eyes,
and mine must look like his.
It moves when I move. But what does it prove? Don't know what it is.
