The Chilton Song

[Verse]

It's been a long day since I woke up

Spilled the Allsup's coffee in my pickup truck

Was headed to work, when on my drive

I got a ticket going 60 in a 55

Clocked in for a job that I can't stand

I'm on the verge of quitting or getting canned

I'll be so damn glad when this day is through

When I get home I know just what I'll do

[Chorus]

Go grab a cup

Rim it with salt

Pull down the vodka

And pour in a shot

Pop a top of Topo Chico

Only one thing left to put in

Yeah, when life gives you lemons

Make you a Chilton

[Verse 2]

All of your worry and all of your trouble

Will be gone after one, so just make it double

That's when it hit will ya, this revelation

This drink might be man's finest creation

Whеn your heart is aching or the sun is baking

Or the tax man comеs once more for the taking

When it's quitting time, you're feeling thirsty

It's 5 o'clock somewhere or maybe 10:30

[Chorus]

Go grab a cup

Rim it with salt

Pull down the vodka

Pour in a shot (or two, or three)

Pop a top of Topo Chico

Only one thing left to put in

Yeah, when life gives you lemons

Make you a Chilton

[Bridge]

Now, here's what you do

You keep it simple, stupid

You just follow the instructions

Get a cup, or a glass, some ice cubes

Pour in a little Topo Chico, add salt

And three fingers of vodka

Texan, Russian-maybe not Russian

But you get the point

And most importantly, grab some lemons

Squeeze half a lemon, squeeze a whole lemon

Hell, go crazy, squeeze two whole lemons

Mix it all up and enjoy

[Verse 2] (half verse)

So when you're burned out on beer

The whiskey ain't working

The wine is fine but it just leaves you hurting

When you're tired of tequila and all out of rum

I'll tell u what we do where I come from

[Chorus]

Grab you a cup

Rim it with salt

Pull down the vodka

Pour in a shot (or two, or three, or four)

Pop a top of Topo Chico

Only one thing left to put in

When life gives you lemons

Make you a Chilton

Yeah, when life gives you lemons

Make you a Chilton
