|
D.W. Washburn, I heard a sweet voice say.
|
D.W. Washburn, this is your lucky day.
|
A hot bowl of soup is waitin'.
|
A hot bowl of soup and a shave.
|
D.W. Washburn, we picked you to say.
|
|
Can't you hear the bugle call? Can't you hear the bells?
|
Even you can be reborn, you naughty
|
If you don't get out of that gutter,
|
before the next big rain.
|
D.W. Wahsburn, you're gonna wash right down the drain.
|
|
Up, up, come on get up off your street.
|
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees,
|
I know you can make it to your feet. Wooah!
|
D.W. Washburn, I said to myself.
|
D.W. Washburn, why don't you go save sombody else?
|
|
Well, I got no job to go to.
|
I don't work and I don't get paid.
|
I got a bottle of wine, I'm feelin' fine.
|
And I believe I got it made.
|
|
I'd like to thank all you good people
|
for comin' to my aid.
|
But I'm D.W. Washburn.
|
I do believe I got it made.
|
|
I do believe I got it made, don't need nobody.
|
I do believe I got it made, I do believe I got it made.
|
|
or...
|
|
DW Washburn I heard a sweet voice say
|
DW Washburn this is your lucky day
|
A hot bowl of soup is waitin'
|
A hot bowl of soup and a shave...
|
DW Washburn...we picked you to SAVE (the whole thing is about the
|
Salvation Army finding some soul that they think needs saving....and the guy
|
is perfectly content as he is)
|
|
Can't you hear the FLUGLE HORN?
|
Can't you hear the band? (Also could be bells...certainly fits the music
|
here...but the band would refer to the Sal Army)
|
Even you can be reborn
|
You naughty n'er - do-well (an archaic term for a slacker)
|
Get up, get outta that gutter
|
Before the next big rain.
|
DW Washburn...you're gonna wash right down the drain.
|
|
Up, up...c'mon get up (My kid's favorite part of the song)
|
Get up off your street (has been written as "Seat" in other places, but
|
Micky is clearly saying "Street" ...which works in context.)
|
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees,
|
I know you can make it to your feet..whooo
|
|
DW Washburn I said to myself (Character is going introspective here)
|
DW Washburn Why don't you go save somebody else? (I.e. we picked you to
|
save, but DW doesn't give a ****)
|
Well I got no job to go to
|
I don't work and I don't get paid
|
I got a bottle of wine
|
I'm feeling fine.......And I believe I' got it made.
|
|
I'd like to thank all you good people
|
For coming to my aid, but I'm
|
DW Washburn
|
I do believe I got it made.....etc. to fade
