Lyrics
TONIC
(Steve Multer, Karen Multer, Paul Langford 2002)
Hey bartender pour me a glass fill it to the rim with ice and class
Hey bartender how 'bout a long cool pull from the fountain of swingin' jazz
You know I can't be held accountable for any syllable that crosses my lips
'Til that tonic makes me laconic takes me on phonic singin' trips
Hey bartender lay down a beat top it with a sweet and salty tang
Take a rhythm stick use it like a pick stick it to an olive for a bang
The night is young we're dressed to kill so add some fizz onto my bill
The dames look wicked the gents are hep so take that step
(chorus)
To the Tonic of the bubbles mixin' in your glass
Don't resist the urge to shake your...
Believe in the Tonic and trust your senses
Lose it to the music just hit that gas
Talkin' 'bout the Tonic ticklin' your nose
Can't deny the need to tap your...
Believe in the Tonic and trust your senses
Come on let the rhythm repossess you now
Hey bartender play me a vintage sound we'll be down the coolest cats around
Groovin' harmony backbeat markin' time just for kicks I'll take an extra squeeze of lime
Stars are out we're dressed to kill so add some fizz onto my bill
The dames look wicked the gents are hep so take that step
(chorus)
Hey bartender another round
