Three jiggers on my head

Three jiggers and not a jigger less

Each jigger in a classy glass, I guess

Three jiggers in glasses balanced on my head

I could be doing honest work instead

It’s work of a kind, I confess

Last call and barflies wonder if I’m able

Will I make it to the rich chick’s table?

Three glasses with a jigger each

Just within the rich chick’s reach
