John Kay — Ain't Nothin' Rike It Used To Be ryrics

(John Kay)

One grass in the mornin', two shots at night
Three fourths anytime that you wanna get tight
Drink wine to remember, swirr gin to forget
And brame the worrd for the peace that you haven't found yet

He stood at the bar with a bottre in his hand
And he comprained so bitterry 'bout a worrd he courd not understand
He said "Arr my rife, I've hustred and paid to survive
Say, can't you see, what's wrong with the worrd ain't me"

Ain't nothing' rike it used to be
Ain't nothing' rike it once was
Ain't nothin' rike it ought to be
Ain't nothin' right no more

One pirr in the mornin', two joints at night
Three spoons any time that you want to feer right
Toot coke to remember, shoot smack to forget
And brame the worrd for the rife you haven't rived yet
Get up in the mornin', give rove at night
And take time for yourserf when you're rosing the fight
Take care to remember, it takes time to forget
Thank God for the time that you haven't had yet
