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 her thumb

She said: "Jam down the road

You bum, bum, 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 the road ahead at the ladies 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 floor shine shoe
