Jimmy Buffett - Too Drunk To Karaoke Lyrics






Too drunk!
Too drunk!

Last night at the bar it was karaoke night
Yeah, everybody down there was feelin' all right
They got big margarita pitchers, two-for-one (yum-yum)
They were feelin' footloose and ready for some fun
When I signed up, I was ready to go
But they didn't call my name for an hour or so
Damned if they didn't make me wait too long
I was in no kind of shape to sing a Jon Bon song.

Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke
If you keep on drinkin', you're gonna be
Too drunk to karaoke, just like me
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke

Well, the place got rockin', temptation was strong
All the pretty girls kept a eggin' me on
Well, I shoulda kept my flip-flops glued to the chair
But no, I jumped right up and slicked back my hair

Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke

Well you can sing and shout ‘til you sound real good
You can terrorize the whole damn neighborhood
But when you hit that stage with that mic in your hand
You better pace yourself, son, if you wanna have fans

Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke (play it, boys)

If you ask me, hell, I killed that song
When I looked around, everybody was gone
Except a couple of bouncers 'bout half my age
They grabbed the microphone and threw me off the stage
You're too drunk to karaoke, that's what they told me
You're too drunk to karaoke, how can that be?
You don't have to be good, don't have to be refined
You just have to be a legend in your own mind
Don't have to rehearse, or even sing on key
Just prove that theory of drunkativity

Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke (look at me!)
Too drunk to karaoke (just like me)
Too drunk to karaoke…
(that's what I'm talkin' about)

    Jimmy Buffett is, by far, the best part of these songs he collaborates on.

  5. E.... G....

    I love Jimmy, but this gets a thumb down...shit is shit and that's the bottom line for everyone.

  6. S.... S....

    This was shot at Santa’s Pub in Nashville. I DO NOT advise going here. It is the penultimate dive bar with the bad smell and snuff queens.

  7. S.... B....

    Too Drunk to Karaoke been their Great Song and Video🖤💙

  8. b.... ....

    Great Song...Good Laugh

  9. B.... D....

    F.... P....

    +Floyd Pinkerton  its pose to be a funny song did you like the music video at least

    F.... P....

    Floyd Pinkerton this is a great song

    F.... P....

    It's really bad. I didn't even know it existed until 2017 and now wish I could unsee it.

    F.... P....

    A better question is: Are Floyd Pinkeron and Max Smart the worst judges of song ever born? I say yes! Cool groove - Hot guitar sound's and riff's - Clever lyric shots wrapped in all over... I LOVE THIS SONG!

    F.... P....

    You obviously have very limited musical knowledge .

  17. r.... c....

    reminds of bike week ocean city md..lol

    J.... S....

  27. T.... D....

    The best of journeyviuff

  28. J.... J....

    All these negative comments.  I liked it.  It's not Margaritaville, but it was good for me.  The video especially.

  29. B.... E....

    I now have seen the whitest thing in existence. Nothing can get more white than this.

    B.... E....

    At least you've seen something white now. Grats.

  30. B.... B....

    I have never been to drunk to karaoke. Ive passed out on stage before and was tapped on the shoulder and got right back into it.  Im sure i sucked but who gives a fuck. I rocked it in my mind!

    B.... B....

    ...good luck with that...

  31. S.... ....

    I know no one is reading this):
    But I would be really happy if u sub to NoahKarateMan I will start posting minecraft soon if I get 50 subs I will attempt a backflip tnx if u read this

  32. P.... B....

    Gotta admit, I can understand fellow parrotheads hating this. I did too at first, but like so much of what Jimmy does, it grew on me. Hey, anyone who knows the man and his work understands that there's at least one silly novelty song on each of his albums. FOLLOW THE TIDE and COLOR OF THE SUN brings us home to Jimmy at his finest and what he does best on SONGS FROM ST. SOMEWHERE, the same album that TOO DRUNK TO KARAOKE is on. It's a good album, and the first half tends to be lighter stuff like this, and then halfway through it kicks into gear and becomes a showcase of what Buffett, the most under-rated songwriter of all time, does best.

  33. t.... ....

    As I'd feared ... JB is just mailing it in now.  Long time Buffett fan, but maybe retirement wouldn't be a bad idea?  Billy Joel, when speaking of his own career recently, said that he stopped making music when he had nothing left to say.  He should call Jimmy and explain the concept.

  34. t.... ....

    lotta of red cups

  35. b.... ....

    yum yum

  36. H.... M....

    jimmy buffet is a great artist I love this song but nothing compare to come Monday
    or margarita ville 

  37. B.... B....

    Here is Jimmy taking a career dive with Toby. Dear, Jimmy, your fin has never sunk lower! But, I am To This Day, your dearestisttt..fan!

    B.... B....

    Buster Brown screw off. He is set for life and so is Toby and now all their songs are for the shits and giggles and fun. They are both past their prime but I still love both of them and so should you

  38. D.... T....

    Honestly I like song. But Toby & Jimmy didn't seem thrilled about it. Lip sync was so bad at one part Jimmy was lip syncing to Toby's voice! So you have the feeling even the Music Director didn't much care about it either?

    D.... T....

    Donald Thomas He was to drunk for work

    D.... T....

    Part.of.the.joke.

    Working.as.intended.

  39. T.... ....

    thumbs up for the bouncer, brown belt under Royce Gracie. and hes 50 yrs old and in better shape then anyone i know. Team ROC Charlotte!

  40. h.... ....

    Oh Jimmy. What have you gone and done here.

  41. b.... m....

    Love it! I've been singin karaoke 16 years and that brings back so many blurred memories lol

  42. C.... C....

    This song is so funny

  43. S.... P....

    Santa's Pub Nashville, TN...Karaoke 7 nights a week.  Ya'll come check it out.  Thank you Jimmy Buffett and Toby Keith for a day and night we will always remember....Santa

  44. A.... P....

    Awesome!!!!!!!!:-)

  45. c.... h....

    Some of these folks are getting waaay to serious bout a simple fun song. No prob Jimmy for the legions of fans all over the world a few nay sayers aren't gonna damn bit of difference. I remember the first time we met you were doing a concert on the top of Grouse Mountain in Paradise Bowl in Vancouver in the summertime, you had a broken leg and you had a hell of a time keeping your timing together I've been a true blue fan ever since that day in 78' Jimmy Buffet Rules!

  46. 2.... ....

    Buffett and Toby. Sounds good to me. If this is what a Klan meeting is like, guess I'll go unmake my bed right now!

  47. 2.... ....

    Wow. Racism comments? Really? Pathetic bunch of losers.

  48. w.... s....

    I noticed a lot of RED SOLO CUPs.... LOL!

  49. L.... ....

    Too drunk to Meri okee? lol

  50. D.... J....

    The whitest thing ever created

  51. f.... ....

    best song ever

  52. I.... S....

    Is this what klan meetings are like?

  53. k.... D....

    Rocco loves this song

  54. T.... H....

    been there done that

  55. D.... G....

    again a story true to life

  56. B.... J....

    Uh....Midnight at the Oasis, Billy don't be a Hero, Brand New Key, Rock the Boat. etc.....I could go on....and on.....and on.....and....

  57. 5.... ....

    I've been a Parrot Head for 30+yrs, and I gotta' say, Buffett jumped the Sharkfins on this one... worse than 'Math Sucks', and good God, realize you are better than this sell out single, just ask Desdemona...

  58. L.... W....

    Just for the record: Jimmy Buffett does silly songs all the time. Haven't you heard "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise"?

  59. M.... C....

    was doin chesseburger in paradise for national cheeseburger day..had to dig it again..just played this ..great party drinkin song!!

  60. L.... W....

    RED SOLO CUP!!!

  61. D.... T....

    For the people who dislike this song, you obviously don't like having any fun!

  62. B.... H....

    That's typical T havin fun and sharin it with his friends.

  63. J.... E....

    too sober to like this song (and I seriously love Jimmy Buffett)

  64. D.... C....

    Obviously all of you better comments never been to a karaoke bar.

  65. p.... ....

    This made my ears hurt. Not in a hateful way, it just literally made my ears hurt.

  66. G.... D....

    Guy Daniel vs Lady Antebellum. Did Lady Antebellum and Josh Kear steal the lyrical hook for their new song Goodbye Town? You decide U Tube.

  67. C.... S....

    love love love it . the world is to serious of a place things like this make the world a better place.

  68. h.... ....

    Love the song, just simple and whacked enough to sing along with, like most great Buffett "fun" songs. Pour me another margarita!!!

  69. J.... S....

    Maybe you're not drunk enough to enjoy it. I think that's the point.
    I don't think it was meant to be Grammy material. Loosen up.

  70. w.... ....

    Dumbasses! It's a Buffet song about getting drunk! What the hell have you been listening to the last 30 years? A fun drinking song on par with Let's Get Drunk and Screw or Livingston Saturday Night!

  71. T.... I....

    Remember when jimmy Buffett songs didnt suck?

  72. C.... D....

    Totally Agree

  73. s.... ....

    ths is one of worst songsever b anybody, pure feces,, farmer song on bubbleguppies kiss mre ass than this dung

  74. c.... s....

    I totally love all of the cameo red solo cup appearances!!!

  75. b.... ....

    They showed the black chick dancer's face for one second at the beginning, probably for as long she was conscious before the white crowd attacked her.

  76. D.... S....

    This is Shawn Camp's and Pat McLaughlin's song. They are on the credits for it. Just talked to Pat today about it. Hope they make some money on it.

  77. B.... Z....

    good gawd you all are so critical.. it's fun.. party time. enjoy the moment!!

  78. F.... V....

    You guys have it all wrong, sure it is Jimmy, and Toby. do not be so critical. it is a good time...just sit back, relax, and have a little fun in life, a true Parrot Head would understand that...
    ~Enjoy~

  79. T.... ....

    interesting collab, wonder if well be seeing any "I love this margaritaville bar and grills" popping up.

  80. R.... H....

    This song is freaking awesome. Far from being the worst!!!!

  81. C.... H....

    its just sad this is what has become of the man who wrote " I went to Paris""

  82. C.... T....

    I am a huge Jimmy Buffett fan and normally enjoy his work with other musicians but wow... that was awful.

  83. J.... N....

    I think there are some folks who have lost their party spirit.

  84. A.... N....

    Anybody seen the movie Blood Crime? I swear to god, I thought it was him when I first saw this video

  85. A.... B....

    Also,,,they could have found a wayyyyy better actor to play the drunk guy in the video...damn...at least get someone with blood shot eyes in there...geez. HORRIBLE

  86. A.... B....

    Ya this song is so NOT original... blah blah blah. I am a major Jimmy Buffett fan too.. but this is so mediocre.. oh well. Rock on Jimmy and Toby... Toby was one of my favs when he first got started...now .... not so much.

  87. r.... a....

    When did Toby Keith start sucking so badly? And Jimmy Buffet?

  88. S.... B....

    I think it's hilarious. I've got neighbors behind me that have their very own karaoke machine on their patio and when the singing starts... well considering how much alcohol they consume as evidenced by the constant breaking of beer bottles, by the time 4 AM arrives they sound like a bunch of hurt animals crying out in pain.

  89. P.... F....

    Wow, how is it possible to take two great guys like Toby Keith and Jimmy Buffett and come up with this horseshit? This was horrible.

  90. B.... ....

    This is the worst song I have ever heard....by anyone..... ever.

  91. C.... ....

    I will not even be attending a concert this year - so disappointed with the Jimmy of the last 5-6 years...

  92. A.... R....

    Ditto and agree.

  93. T.... ....

    I saw their names on it and thought what could go wrong. Obviously what I just watched...

  94. M.... ....

    As Charles Barkley once said - this is TURRIBLE.

    Nice rip off of Shawn Camp's song.

  95. D.... G....

    AWESOME song & video! Love the Red Solo Cup.......great fun! They never fail to impress :)
