about

I wrote this song thinking about all the great little locally owned neighborhood bars that I've hung out at and played music throughout the years.

ENJOY!

lyrics

Gunga Den

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
Down on the corner by the cotton gin.
You’ll find me there, 3 sheets to the wind.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
If you weren’t there, you should have been.
You can sit right there and watch the world spin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
It’s a great place to find a friend
You can’t lose and you can’t win.
It ain’t no sin, down at a Gunga Den.

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
It’s a beautiful sight with all the women and men,
Loosened up with juice and gin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
I did it once and I’ll do it again.
You won’t break if you know how to bend.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.

Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
Tell your ma and your next of kin.
It’s the best place to pick and grin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
