Jeannie C. Riley - Sippin' Shirley Thompson lyrics

rate me

Sippin' Shirley Thompson is a gas

Anytime you see her you can always count on Shirley for a glass

She knows more words with just four letters than the dictionary ever had

She uses them to color up the stories of the simple life she's led

Sippin' Shirley Thompson doesn't care

She's 39 and feelin' fine and not much up to goin' anywhere

Her husband is a bible salesman and at 39 his hair fell out

She said there's not a hair between him and the heaven that he talks about

Sippin' Shirley Thompson is a pal

An ordinary woman who'll sit and dish the dirt with all the gals

She said I don't believe in bein' somethin' that the people know you're not

But when she's at home alone nobody knows that sippin' Shirley cries a lot

Sippin' Shirley Thompson is a gas...
