There's a Hole in the Bottom of My Drinking Glass,
This is a straight-up drinking song and singalong I wrote in February 2023 and recorded at my home studio in Berkeley on February 28, 2023.

Story behind the song
I woke with the idea of doing a drinking song about there being a hole in my drinking cup and it came together very quickly after that.
Lyrics
There's a Hole in the Bottom of Drinking Glass
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio

I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
I'm a dues payin' member of the drinking class
So, get me a new one and bring it here fast
I opened my Chianti as the boat sailed from Perth
But most of it was gone before the boat left port
It all drained out because of that holey cup
Give me a refund or refill me up
I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
I'm a dues payin' member of the drinking class
So, get me a new one and bring it here fast
A few days later, rounding Istanbul
I had a couple more glasses with my gruel
But they served it to me in a defective cup
Give me a refund or refill me up
I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
A hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
Yeah, I'm a dues payin' member of the drinking class
So, get me a new one and bring it here fast
Nearing the port of Playa del sol
I had some Merlot with my butter and roll
But they ripped me off again with a glass that leaked
More landed on the floor than in my beak
I got a hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
A hole in the bottom of my drinking glass
I'm a dues payin' member of the drinking class
So, get me a new one and bring it here fast
