Down in my cellar, down in my cellar,
I've been changing ev'rything around,
I've a secret hidden there, I'll guard it with my life,
There's only one mistake I made I told it to my wife.

Chorus
Now ev'rybody wants a key to my cellar, my cellar, my cellar,
People who before wouldn't give me a tumble,
Even perfect strangers are beginning to grumble,
'Cause I won't let them have a key to my cellar,
They'll never get in just let them try.
They can have my money, They can have my car,
They can have my wife If they want to go that far,
But they can't have the key that opens my cellar,
If the whole darn world goes dry. Now Dry.

Down in my cellar, down in my cellar,
I've been having parties ev'ry night,
People that I never knew come up and talk to me,
They're trying hard to find out where I hang my cellar key.

Repeat chorus.
