Whiskey, gin and brandyWith a glass I'm pretty handyI'm trying to walk a straight lineOn sour mash and cheap wineSo join me for a drink boysWe're gonna make a big noiseSo don't worry about tomorrowTake it todayForget about the chequeWe'll get hell to payHave a drink on meHave a drink on meYeahHave a drink on meHave a drink on meOn meCome onDizzy, drunk and fightin'On tequila white lightnin'My glass is getting shorterOn whiskey, ice and waterSo come on and have a good timeAnd get blinded out of your mindSo don't worry about tomorrowTake it todayForget about the chequeWe'll get hell to payHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meOn meGet stonedHave a drink on meHave a drink on meYeahHave a drink on meCome onOoohGonna roll aroundGonna hit the groundTake another swingHave another drinkGonna drink it dryGonna get me highCome on all the boysMake a noiseCHORUSHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink on meHave a drink oooooooon me

This song is an example of ambiguity because of the line "Have a drink on me." This can be interpreted many different ways. The literal meaning is that they can have a drink while being on him, but the figurative meaning is that he will pay for the drinks, hence having a drink on him.
