wonderful wino

Lyrics

l.a. 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 gonna eat the label!", well i'm a wino man, don't you know i am?, 36, 24, hips about 30, i seen a fine lady and i started talkin' dirty, boy, she looked over at me and she raised the thumb, she said: "jam down the road, you fun-ba-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've been drinkin' all night till my eyes got red, stumbled on the gutter and busted my head, bugs in my zoot suit, been scratchin' like a dog, i 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 florsheim shoe
