About My Baby's No Bourbon on the Rocks
I wrote this song and initially recorded it on my iPad for my husband Wesley. He had a birthday recently, and I was sitting there looking at this song prompt Adam Selzer came up with for our songwriters' group, "bourbon on the rocks." Wesley does not drink. At all. I was thinking, "Wesley's not a bourbon on the rocks," and that got me started, and this song was my gift to him.

Also, for the record, I have never had a whiskey sour that was served up too sweet. Bring the sugar, baby! I love it!

lyrics

My Baby’s No Bourbon on the Rocks
Copyright 2016 by Mary Crowell (Written May 31, 2016)

My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He’s a tall drink best sipped neat.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He ain’t a whiskey sour served up too sweet.
You can’t see him in a glass
Although he’s got a clear spirit;
‘Can’t confine him like wine in a box.

My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s my tall drink best sipped neat.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He’s a Snapple or a Diet Coke.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He ain’t no drinker, and he will never smoke.
You can’t see him in the glass
‘Til the bubbles fin’lly clear it
Draws the line at Juicy Juice in the box.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s a Snapple or a Diet Coke.

My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He’s a smoothie, with some hidden kale
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks;
He’ll make you settle down like sweet ginger ale
You can’t see him in the glass
But you soon will sure revere it
Serve you tea that you can pick from a box
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s a smoothie, with some hidden kale.

1st Verse Reprise

Coda
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s a Snapple or a Diet Coke.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s a smoothie, with some hidden kale.
My baby’s no bourbon on the rocks.
He’s my tall drink best sipped neat.
