My Family Gambles Part 5 “the pbr song” lyrics … no fiction here

I got a taste for livin’

My name is Ole Blue Ribbon

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind

Uncle Gino worked the brewery on the Ave

Got the job from his dad a union man

He ran numbers at the shake house

Banged the chic who wrote the checks out

And together they robbed Pabst for 20 grande

They robbed PBR for 20 grande

They robbed PBR for 20 grande

They robbed Pabst Blue Ribbon

They were screwin’ and a skimmin’

They robbed PBR for 20 grande

The cops and the mob made out his scam

So he took off to Vegas on the lamb

But first he duped his father for a couple thousand dollars

then he swindled some guy Jerry for a grande

He took off to Vegas on the lamb

He took off to Vegas on the lamb

He beat half the hoods in Newark

Then he loaded up his Buick

And took off to Vegas on the lamb

Didn’t take long to make a name

Stardust Casino he ran the game

Gold suits, hot broads, and Johnny Walker Blue

He went from Pabst to Johnny Walker Blue

He went from Pabst to Johnny Walker Blue

He went from Pabst Blue Ribbon

To robbin’ Vegas for a livin’

He went from Pabst to Johnny Walker Blue

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon

I got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind  (twice)
