NOMAX:
You know Big Moe, I need a fresh drink

BIG MOE:
Nomax, you're making a very serious mistake here

NOMAX:
How you figured

BIG MOE:
You oughta listen to your friend Big Moe

NOMAX:
I'm listenin'

BIG MOE:
And stop drinkin so much

NOMAX:
I don't drink that much

BIG MOE:
Shut up boy, you drink all day and you drink all night
now Max you know that aint right

NOMAX:
Let me explain

BIG MOE:
Shut up boy, your eyes are as red as they can be

NOMAX:
That ok, I've got some sunglasses somewhere

BIG MOE:
And it looks to Big moe you're about
to blow your wig

NOMAX:
Now I'm not gonna blow my wig

BIG MOE:
When you gonna learn boy?
What's the use of gettin sober
when you're gonna get drunk again

NOMAX:
Exactly
you know, old sam did something mighty fine
when he brought back good whiskey, beer and wine
because I love my whiskey and I love my gin
every time you see me I'll be in the sin

BIG MOE:
Don't you think you already deep enough in sin?
When you gonna learn Max?
What's the use of gettin sober
when you're gonna get drunk again

NOMAX:
Hey you know Big Moe
I went out last night about half past one
I thought I'd whoop it up a little bit, you know,
have me some fun

BIG MOE:
I understand

NOMAX:
So I got me a half a pint about half past two
Now after I drank that you know what I wanted to do

BIG MOE:
Sleep

NOMAX:
Uh, uh, then I got me a pint about half past four
now after i drank that I just wanted some more
so then I got me a quart

BIG MOE:
Oh a quart

NOMAX:
Yes about half past five
now after I drank that,
ooh, I didn't know if I was dead or alive

BIG MOE:
I think more dead than alive
When you gonna learn Max?
What's the use of gettin sober
when you're gonna get drunk again
God I hope this boy learns, lord have mercy

NOMAX:
I been thinkin', but I keep drinkin',
and I'm just about to lose my mind.
