Phish - Bathtub Gin Lyrics






Brett is in the bathtub
making soup for the ambassadors
and I am in the hallway
singing to the troubadours

The kings are all lined up
outside the gate
and the autumn bells are ringing
but they'll just have to wait

Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
with his three coned cap
that he wears like a clown?

Have you seen his stripped stockings
and heard his sad tale
about the kids under the carpet
and the purple humpbacked whales

Here come the ambassadors
they show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
to see if it is done

Wendy's on the windowsill
waiting to be let in
and we're all in the bathtub now
making bathtub gin

The kings storm the hallway
they've climbed up through the gate
they didn't mean to be impolite
but they just couldn't wait

Here comes the joker
with his silly grin
he carries a martini
made of bathtub gin

Here comes the joker
we all must laugh
cause we're all in this together
and we love to take a bath.

  41. M.... H....

    Those lights! It's like the spaceship can fly and come in for a landing every now and again. And of course they're killing it lately.

  42. B.... B....

    I love listening to jams where Mike really stands out

    B.... B....

    Me too. And that's been a whole lot this tour.

    B.... B....

    He's a machine. Always has been. And the way he gets down with his own band. The man is a beast. I think 2010 was his mvp year of 3.0. He was on a mission that year

  43. j.... d....

    divided sky

    A.... B....

    N.... 4....

    Keith Smerek that would be amazing!

  51. J.... M....

    Good, but will never top Riverport.

    J.... M....

    ^the worst people

    J.... M....

    I like the Ventura Gin from that same year better than Riverport and can name a few others which I prefer to that one. Personally I think that jam is highly overrated.

    J.... M....

    i was @ Ventura. actually one of my all time fav shows, but personally that Gin doesnt really rank top tier. The show as a whole though is highly underated IMHO.
    Basically its always a personal preference thing. Like i mentioned in another comment the 11-23-97 Gin is my all time fav, but the majority of my friends always say it was just a wank fest where i hear it more as pure hose. Thats the beauty of improv music. its always in the eye/ear of the beholder.

    J.... M....

    Austin Apt it's just hard watching a song you have seen live for over 22 years. I have been enjoying the new stuff a lot more. No offense meant.

    J.... M....

    at least you can enjoy the new stuff. Personally i havent been able to enjoy much of thelast ten years soley b/c Trey's 3.0 tone makes me cringe... I keep checking each tour hoping it changes ::sigh::

  52. 1.... ....

    Phishman's dress is still in one piece after all these years?!?

    1.... ....

    roflsyndrome I'm pretty sure there's at least a dozen versions of it, kind of like Jerry's black T-shirt

    1.... ....

    roflsyndrome he gets a new one made every few months. His mom makes them

    1.... ....

    It’s not a dress it was Andre the giants tank top 🏋️‍♀️

  53. K.... S....

    I should have been there. I had the chance, but no one wanted to go with me as they are pop and rap lovers. Sucks to be them. This was a great Bathtub Gin, with the not surprising Sexy Thing ending.

    K.... S....

    Kevin Silvers find some cooler friends??..I've actually gone to 2 shows by myself because nobody could go with me..not quite as much fun but hey..a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

    K.... S....

    Kevin Silvers you sound just like me. Been to a dozen Atlanta shows, all by myself. But when I got there, there were THOUSANDS of my phriends there! Can’t by good dope there, though. I shave and don’t smell like pachouli so they all think I’m a cop. Phuckin’ hippies...

    K.... S....

    You're both right...I should have gone by myself, but I cannot drive and I'm 3 hours southeast of Alpharetta. And, GEORGIA SUCKS FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. No rail, no buses...this state sucks balls!!

    K.... S....

    Kevin Silvers 3hrs away and no transportation is a pretty difficult obstacle to overcome..but if it makes you feel any better I really wanted to go too but couldnt..I live in Ohio though

    K.... S....

    That sucks. I've never just like one genre. Jam bands are my favorite, but I'll listen to everything from Howlin Wolf to the Dead Kennedy's. My first phish show was on accident. That was 25 years ago. And I never looked back

  54. J.... B....

    post the character zero from saturday!! so dope

  55. t.... p....

    7/29/98 hands down the best bathtub gin

    t.... p....

    Same! 98 was one hell of a year for them. 94 and 96 were good too, but I do have to say I think 98 is my favorite so far.

    t.... p....

    97 Phish was out of this world as well

    t.... p....

    im partial to 11-23-97, but Riverport is tits... sucks i was shut out in the lot... that one hurt.

    t.... p....

    That was 20 years ago. They are old. Now, go take bath!

    t.... p....

    No. 8/5/2018 Best Gin Ever.

  56. L.... P....

    How about some more videos from the other nights??

    L.... P....

    Sunday night's Fuego was really good too :)

    L.... P....

    we need alpha ghost!

    L.... P....

    We need the Full Concert. Some Homeless Wook stole my Free Downloads.

    L.... P....

    Lightning Phan نخ و

  57. S.... S....

    wait is this still lawn boy? where am i

    S.... S....

    Scott Sharp No, it’s still You Sexy Thing

    S.... S....

    I had to ask the same question in Camden
