Frank Zappa — Wonderful Wino Carnegie Hall

Bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves We will come rejoicing Bringing in the sheaves Say! L.A. in the summer of '69 I went downtown and bought some wine I wasted my head on three quarts of juice And now the grapes won't cut me loose I'm a wino man Wino man WINO MAN 36, 24, hips about 30 (36, 24, hips about 30) Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty (Seen a fine lady and I started talkin' dirty) She looked at me and raised her thumb (Thumb, yeah) And said: "Jam down the road, you funky-ass bum" (Jam it down, jam it down, funky-ass bum That's no way to talk to a lady!) 'Cause you're a wino man Don't you know I am? WINO MAN I, I went to the country And while I was gone A roller-headed lady Caught me weedling on her lawn I am so ashamed, 'cause I'm a wino man And I can't help myself HELP ME SOMEBODY! I'm a wino man Wino man WINO MAN My guitar playing And my wino career are in a slump 'Cause I find myself now living In a cardboard refrigerator box down by the Houston dump And, oh my God, I'm so fuckin' ashamed of myself . . WHOOAAAH! I've been drinkin' all night and my eyes are gettin' red Well, I crashed in the gutter, I've got bugs in my head Bugs in my coat, I've been scratchin' like a dog I can't stand water, and I stink like a hog Give me fi-i-i-i-i-ive bucks And a hot meal Give me fi-i-i-i-i-ive bucks And a hot meal Give me fi-i-i-i-i-ive bucks And a hot meal Give me FI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I. . Maybe an old overcoat or two Maybe an old overcoat or two Maybe an old overcoat or two Oh, man! Do I love overcoats!
