Tanqueray

Lyrics: Johnnie Johnson, Keith Richard
Music: Johnnie Johnson, Keith Richard

Sung by Johnnie Johnson with Ratdog, and with The Dead.

Listen to me baby
Hear what I've got to say
I said listen to me baby
Hear what I've got to say
I'm going round the corner
And have a drink of tanqueray

Come on baby
And do like I say
Come on baby
And do like I say
We're going down to the corner
And have a drink of tanqueray

Chorus
Drink of tanqueray (drink of tanqueray)
Drink of tanqueray (drink of tanqueray)
Drink of tanqueray (drink of tanqueray)
Drink of tanqueray (drink of tanqueray)
Aah-aah
Drink of tanqueray (drink of tanqueray)

Long time coming
But I knew I would see a day
It was a long time coming
But I knew I would see a day
When you and I could sit down
And have a drink of tanqueray

[chorus]
