Wonderful Wino

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 her thumb She said: jam down the road You bum, bum, 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 the road ahead at the ladies front lawn I'm so ashamed, But I'm a wino man I can't help myself I've 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 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 floor shine shoe --- Wonderful Wino - Frank Zappa
