Lyrics:

Well I'm sitting here, a glass so near
Filled with my one concern
Oh bottle you've done led me to
The point of no return

You took away my happy days
My life's a total wreck
You took the only things I loved
Now bottle - take effect.

Take effect and take away
These blues that drive me wild
Take effect, make me forget
These troubles for awhile

Then just take me to those lights of blue
On the corner of regret
In some bar room I'll lose my gloom
So bottle - take effect

[Piano = 'Pig' Robbins]

You took away my fortune
While I drank away my pride
Humiliation's my misfortune
And there's no place left to hide

The best place is the gutter
There I won't need respect
Cause when in Rome you'll do what the Romans do
Oh Bottle - take effect.

Take effect and take away
All these blues that drive me wild
Please take effect, make me forget
My troubles for awhile


Then just lead me to those lights of blue
On the corner of regret
In some bar room I'll lose my gloom
So bottle - take effect
