The ol' neon signs are lighted so I'd best get to the bar After all I've got position I must hope There's a stool that waits for me after eight that's where I'll be Sittin' four seats down on Whiskey Row Oh hey the stools are seldom vacant you might say we've bought If you miss one night pack up the stools as you go And I'm not braggin' when I say that I'm sure well on my way Cause I'm four seats down on Whiskey Row Four seats down on Whiskey Row and I don't have but six more seats to go Then I'll be down about as far as I can ever go Four seats down on Whiskey Row I've heard tell the people drinkin' till it soon controls their brain But I guess one look at me proves that ain't so Why I don't forget a thing like I told ol' what's his name I'm four seats down on Whiskey Row I just heard some news that's awful the bartender just told me Late yesterday they laid away ol' Joe Well I'm as sorry as can be but look what that does for me I'm five seats down on Whiskey Row Five seats down on Whiskey Row now I don't have but five more seats to go Then I'll be down about as far as I can ever go five seats down on Whiskey Row And I don't have very far to go five seats down on Whiskey Row
