How High Am I? (03-04-44) - Louis Jordan

How high, how high am I?

I won’t be sober 'til the Fourth of July

Move all the villains and let me by

How high am I?

Hey, Richard

Come on down here, boy, and open this door

What kinda whiskey is this?

This whiskey won’t let ya do nothin'

Mmm, I ain’t never felt that way before

All the world is apple pie

All the seas are ink

All the trees are dry bread and cheese

I’m thirsty, what am I gonna drink?

Rum, whiskey, rye and gin

Mmm, can’t you tell what a fool I’ve been?

Bring out the doctor, Richard, see the state I’m in?

I’m higher than the sky, how high am I?

I don’t like liquor but I’m drunk everyday

When they make liquor, it just comes my way

Everything in the world happens to me

I drink black coffee and it tastes like tea

I feel like a feather but I’m yellin' like a hound

I would be a king, I just haven’t got a crown

One more drink and I believe I’ll drown

How high am I?

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Everybody’s drinkin' scotch and soda

Hey, boy, c’mere, c’mere, bring me a rum and coke

You know I believe I’m gon' have to crawl home on my knees

And Jack, that ain’t no joke

Rum, whiskey, rye, beer and gin

Can’t you tell what a fool I’ve been?

C’mere, c’mere, somebody, can’t you see I’m sunk?

How high am I?

No, that’s a lie

I’m drunk
