Makes your baby cuter, Makes itself taste sweeter. 

Oh, boy! 

[G] Rye whiskey makes your heart beat louder, 

Makes your voice seem softer, 

Makes the back room hotter, oh, but

Into a bright blue package, 

Ties a bow around it.

But the body weaker because  

[D] Rye sleep isn't  

[Em] good sleep, boys, 

Have I ever told you about the time I

[C#] granted? 

[B] So, let's take some and take them all for  

[C#] granted.
