Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
But I like the taste
Of straight strychnine

You may think it's funny
That I like this stuff
But once you've tried it
You can't get enough

Wine is red
Poison is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailin' you

If you listen to what I say
You'll try strychnine some day
Make you jump, it'll make you shout
It'll even knock you out

Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
But I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
Strychnine oh oh
