You Can't Get A Drop On A Sunday - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
You Can't Get a Drop on a Sunday. 
In a prohibition town where they put rum down And lock it up from Saturday till Monday; Then the drug-store clerk you try for to work To get a hummer early on a Sunday. At the end of the week you go to bed, And pet up next day with ahead; You'll look rather pale and you want a cocktail, But you can't get a drop on a Sunday. 
You'll feel very dry and you sneak on the sly To try and get a hummer on a Sunday; Also the bum, he's fond of his rum. And he'll work the barrel on a Sunday. Content yourself, you may as well. And drink the sparkling sarsaparilla; Don't wish prohibition was in h-I When you can't get a drop on a Sunday. 
If you're playing to luck, you'll go chase the duck, But you won't get a drop on a Sunday; Try as you may, this much I'll say, You will have to wait until a Monday. The side doors they are closed up tight, The bar-room it contains no light, So you'll have to get your load on a Saturday night, For you can't get a drop on a Sunday. 
You can't work the gate and put it on the elate, For that's been abolished on a Sunday; Since the new blue law we'll drink no more, Unless we wait until a Month . The can and basket stand no show, The oil-can racket will not go; You can see the girls hustle with a kettle in their bustle, But they can't get a drop on a Sunday. 
Some say it is a sham, but you can't get a dram, Try as you may upon a Sunday; License is high and there's no use to try, For they don't dish it out till a Monday. The price will shortly go up high, And one with cramps will have to die, So a cramp would be risky where you can't get whisky, For you can't get a drop on a Sunday. 
In days gone by if a man felt dry He could sneak in an alley on a Sunday; Now you walk about a mile to try and get a smile, But you can't get a drop on a Sunday. How a man will scheme and try To get spirits of frumenty, I know its rather rough, for I've been there myself, When you can't get a drop on a Sunday.
