The Ab can be done without the top A and E strings.
What I do is use my index finger for the single Bb and then strum Bb again,  then slide 
ready to slip into the following G chord.
I got a cFall fArom my best friend Bbthis evening
He said he Cwasn't going out with us gFuys on Friday nCight
Yeah, he was Fgonna change   for his Anew found flame to Bbkeep her satGisfied
And FI just laughed and sCaid, "Hey man, well go ahead Fand try"
'Cause I gave up Fsmoking, Awomen and dBbrinking last Gnight
It was the woFrst fifteen minCutes of my lFife
Now I've Fheard it said that too much fun will Bbkill you
And I'll Gbe the first to tCell you thFat I don't wanna dCie

Too many twelve ounce curls, pretty girls and parties ain't advised
Well, tGake it from me don't believe all that hCype
'Cause I gave up smFoking, wAomen and drBbinking last nGight
And it was the woFrst fifteen minCutes of my lFife. That's right
