Mare Inebrium

To the tune of "Lola" by the Kinks

by Dan L. Hollifield

I took a late flight out to old Bethdish
'Cause I'd made a big sale and I got really rich.
Man, I was loaded, L-O-A-D--Loaded.
I caught a hover-cab in the City of Lights,
then it leapt in the air and to-wards downtown
it gently floated,
F-L-Oa-T--Floated, F-L-Oa-T--Floated -- Floated.

I asked the cabbie, Bert, for the name of a bar
where I could have a few drinks an' party real hard,
'cause I was lonely, L-O-N-E--Lonely.
He said "I know just the place that you need to go,
It's a multi-species bar for those in the know,
The Mare Inebrium, Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium -- Inebrium!"

    We drank and sang and danced all night,
    Under the fusion candlelight.
    With Max mixing drinks - he put 'em in my hand-
    He said "Here Sir, this'll make you feel grand!"

Well, I'm not the world's most intelligent guy,
so when I took a big gulp it nearly straightened my spine,
Krupnik - K-R-U-P--Krupnik, K-R-U-P--Krupnik,

	I sat my glass on the bar,
	I got up from my chair,
	I felt my ass hit the floor,
	I climbed back to my knees,
	then I looked at m'drink and it looked at me...

And that's just the way I wanted to stay
And I knew right then that I'd be back someday,
To Mare Inebrium,
Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium.

Space will be time and time will be space,
its a mixed up muddled up shook up place,
out there on Bethdish,
Ba-Ba-Ba-Bethdish!
Ba-Ba-Ba-Bethdesh!

    Hey I'd left my office just a week before,
    and I'd never ever had that liquor before.
    Well, Blanche took my hand and helped me to my feet,
    Said "Pretty boy, let me show you a seat."

Well I'm not the world's most intelligent man
but I know I'll be back just as soon as I can
to Mare Inebrium,
Inebrium -- Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium, Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium,
Inebrium -- Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium, Ma-Ma-Mare Inebrium!
