about

We all know one. We may be one. We're not here to judge. We're here to laugh. This TV Theme is a cross between CHEERS and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Hold on to your cocktail, Mary, he's staggering in your direction!

lyrics

Ricky:

HE'S THE HAPPY HOUR HONEY
YOU DISMISS WITH A WINK.
HE NEVER SPENDS HIS MONEY,
AND HE NURSES EVERY DRINK,
HE'S THE BARFLY...
BARFLY!

SCARFIN' DOWN THE PRETZELS.
WOOFIN' DOWN THE CHIPS.
ALWAYS BUMMIN' CIGARETTES
AND STEALIN' PEOPLE'S TIPS.
HE'S THE BARFLY...
BARFLY!

HE WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR
EVERYDAY WITHOUT FAIL.
THE BARTENDER SEES HIM
AND HANDS HIM HIS MAIL.
HE PICKS OUT A BARSTOOL
AND SPRAYS IT WITH GLUE,
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND HIM
TIL TEN AFTER TWO!

HE'S THE BARFLY...
BARFLY!
EVERYONE ELSE IS A FAR CRY,
GET A LIFE.
GET A JOB.
GET A CLUE.
THERE WILL NEVER BE A BARFLY LIKE YOU-
OOH OOH OOH,
OOH OOH OOH,
OHH OHH OHH,
OHH, BARFLY!
