Wonderful Wino Lyrics

Well, late in the summer of '69,
I went downtown, and bought me some wine.
Oh, I drank it down, under the table,
I said "Watch me now, I'm gon eat the label!"
Well, I'm a wino-man, don't you know I am?

36, 24, hips about 30.
I see a fine lady and I start talkin' dirty.
Boy, she looked over at me, and she raised her thumb.
She said "Jam down the road, you bum b-bum bum!"
I'm a wino-man, don't you know I am?

I went to the country,
and while I was gone,
I lost control of my body functions,
on a roller-headed lady's front lawn.
I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino-man, I can't help myself.

I been drinkin' all night 'til my eyes got red.
Stumbled on the gutter and busted my head.
Bugs in my zoot suit. Been scratchin' like a dog.
Can't stand no water, and I stink like a hog.

Give me a five dollar bill, and an overcoat too.
Give me a five dollar bill, and an overcoat too.
A five dollar bill, and an overcoat too,
a five dollar bill, and a Florscheim shoe.
