Well, late 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 gon eat the label!"

Well, I'm a wino-man, don't you know I am?



36, 24, hips about 30.

I see a fine lady and I start talkin' dirty.

Boy, she looked over at me, and she raised her thumb.

She said "Jam down the road, you bum b-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 been drinkin' all night 'til my eyes got red.

Stumbled on the gutter and busted my head.

Bugs in my zoot suit. Been scratchin' 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.

A five dollar bill, and an overcoat too,

a five dollar bill, and a Florscheim shoe.
