Wonderful Wino - Frank Zappa & the Mothers
Bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves We will come rejoicing Bringing in the sheaves L.A. in the summer of '69 I went downtown and bought some wine I wasted my head on 3 quarts of juice And now the grapes won't cut me loose 'Cause I'm a wino man Wino man WINO MAN 36, 24, hips about 30 (36, 24, hips about 30) Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty (Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty) She looked at me and raised the thumb (Thumb, yeah) And said: "Jam down the road, you funky ass bum" (Jam it down, jam it down, funky ass bum, That's no way to talk to a lady!) 'Cause you're a wino man Don't you know I am? WINO MAN I, I went to the country And while I was gone A roller-headed lady Caught me widdling on her lawn I am so ashamed, 'cause I'm a wino man And I can't help myself HELP ME SOMEBODY! I'm a wino man Wino man WINO MAN My guitar playing And my wino career are in a slump 'Cause I find myself now living In a cardboard refrigerator box down by the Houston dump And, oh my God, I'm so fuckin' ashamed of myself (So ashamed of myself) Everytime I get . . . WHOOAAAH! I've been drinkin' all night till my eyes are gettin' red Well I crashed in the gutter and busted my head Bugs in my coat, been scratchin' like a dog I can't stand water, and I stink like a hog Give me FIVE bucks And a hot meal Give me FIVE bucks And a hot meal Give me FIVE bucks And a hot meal Give me FI-I-I-I-I-I . . . Maybe an old overcoat or two Maybe an old overcoat or two Maybe an old overcoat or two Oh my God, I just love overcoats
