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
