(Frank Zappa and Jeff Simmons)
|
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
|
