	作曲 : Mark Knopfler
	作词 : KNOPFLER, MARK
	brew the coffee in a bucket
	double straight man and banjo
	if you don’t got the snake oil
	buster, you don’t got a show
	who puts the doh-re-me
	in our pockets
	keeps the party going on?
	it’s the man
	who sells the potions
	i’m just one who plays the songs
	now they generally buys
	the bigger size
	they usually rub it in
	i drank it once, it tasted
	like grease and paraffin
	it’s mostly alcohol, okay
	you can’t deny it’s strong
	we was going through the motions
	‘til the doctor came along

	there stands the bottle
	ladies and gentlemen
	all these bottles
	don’t have to tell you, friends
	these days miracles
	don’t come falling from the sky
	raise your glasses to the doctor
	to a stand up guy

	when the monkeyshine is flying
	and he’s promising the cure
	he says the french
	for your lovesick blues
	la maladie d’amour
	he gets the chumps all laughing
	but he gets a few to buy
	here’s to beefsteak
	when you’re hungry
	and whiskey when you’re dry
	now the band’ll blow their moolah
	like sailors gone ashore
	now we’re going to west helena
	to gamble, drink and whore
	let’s you and me
	all make whoopee
	here’s mud in your eye
	here’s to all the gals you ever want
	and heaven when you die

	there stands the bottle
	ladies and gentlemen
	all these bottles
	don’t have to tell you, friends
	these days miracles
	don’t come falling from the sky
	raise your glasses to the doctor
	to a stand up guy

	there’s a big cheese with a cigar
	been sizing up the show
	he wants to get the doctor
	pitching on the radio
	i will make a switch to guitar
	but the rules all still apply
	they want to trust somebody
	yeah, they want a stand up guy

	there stands the bottle
	here’s to absent friends
	all these bottles
	dead soldiers in the end
	these days miracles
	don’t come falling from the sky
	raise your glasses to the doctor
	to a stand up guy
	to the doctor
	a stand up guy
