frank zappa - wonderful wino [carnegie hall] lyrics
bringing in the sheaves
bringing in the sheaves
we will come rejoicing
bringing in the sheaves
say!
l.a. in the summer of ’69
i went downtown and bought some wine
i wasted my head on three quarts of juice
and now the grapes won’t cut me loose
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 her 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 weedling 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 f#ckin’ ashamed of myself . .
whooaaah!
i’ve been drinkin’ all night and my eyes are gettin’ red
well, i crashed in the gutter, i’ve got bugs in my head
bugs in my coat, i’ve been scratchin’ like a dog
i can’t stand water, and i stink like a hog
give me fi#i#i#i#i#ive bucks
and a hot meal
give me fi#i#i#i#i#ive bucks
and a hot meal
give me fi#i#i#i#i#ive bucks
and a hot meal
give me fi#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i#i. .
maybe an old overcoat or two
maybe an old overcoat or two
maybe an old overcoat or two
oh, man! do i love overcoats!
