Ther. fore you knew it Id downed one whole jug o that shit and commenced to get hot flashes.

Goosepimples was runnin up and down my body and a feelin came over me like, somethin Id never experienced before, its like, like I was in love,

(why dont we have a little love mike [utley])

In love for the first time, with anything that moved... animate, in-animate it didnt matter. its like theres a great neon sign flashin on and off in my brain sayin, jimmy buffett there
Reat day a comin... cause I was drunk.

Now I wadnt, uh, knee-crawlin, slip-slidin, reggy-youngin, commode-huggin drunk, I was gods own drunk, and a fearless man; and thats when I first saw the bear.

He was a kodiak lookin fella bout 19 feet tall he rambled up over the hill spectin me to do one of two things: flip or fly, I didnt do either one. it hung him up. he starts sniffin round
Dy tryin to smell fear, but he aint gonna smell no fear, cause Im gods own drunk and a fearless man. it hung him up. he looked me right in my eyes and my eyes was a lot redder than his was.
Ung him up.

Sniffin around that thing cause hes smellin somethin good. I gave him one of them jugs of honeydew vine water, he downed it upright, (looked like one of them damn bears in the circus sippin
Parilly in the moonlight.) I gave him another and another and another fore I knew it, hed downed eight of em and commenced to do the bear dance. two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn
A grunt; and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me.

And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar and is awful tired, went over to the hillside, and I laid down, went to sleep, slept for four hours, and dreamt me some tremulous dreams and whe
Oke up, oh, there was gods yellar moon a shinin on the clear cool evenin. and gods little lanterns just a twinklin on and off in the heavens, and my buddy the bear was a missin... yeah,
