Wonderful Wino

(album: The Lost Episodes - 1996)

L.A. in the summer of '69
I went downtown and bought me some wine
I wasted my head on a bottle of juice
And now the grape won't cut me loose
Well, I'm a wino man
Well, don't you know I am?
Great God Almighty, don't you know I'm a wino man?

36, 24, hips about 30
Seen a fine lady and I started talking dirty
She looked at me and then she raised her thumb
And said, "Jam down the road, you funky-ass bum"
Well, I'm a wino man
Well, don't you know I am?
Great God Almighty, don't you know that I'm a wino man?

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
And I can't help myself

I've been drinking all night till my eyes got red
Stumbled on the gutter and busted my head
Bugs in my zoot suit have me scratching like a dog
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
Five-dollar bill and an overcoat too
Five-dollar bill and a Florsheim shoe
Oh, I wanna... now... now [?] no no, oh, no no no...
No no, no no no...
I wanna, a Florsheim shoe, a five-dollar bill, you can give me that too...
