FRANK ZAPPA-"Wonderful Wino" LYRICS

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
