Gimme That Wine Lyrics
Gimme That Wine - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross
My wife got tired a' me running 'round so she tried to keep me home
Well she broke my nose and hid my clothes but I continued to roam
Then she finally hit my weak spot threatened to throw my bottle out
Well from the basement to the rooftop everybody could hear me shout
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Oh gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice
Gotta have hot Lucy when I go walkin' y'know
Well one day while crossin the avenue a big car knocked me down
While I was stretched out tyin' up traffic and crowds came from blocks
Around
Now the po lice were searchin my pockets before they sent me to the
Funeral parlor
But when one o' those cops took my bottle jack I jumped straight up
And commenced to hollar
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Oh gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
'Cause I can't get well without muskatel
I only drink for medicinal purposes anyway
Well now one real dark and dreary night as I was staggerin' home t'
Bed
Well a bandit jumped from the shadows and put a blackjack 'side my
Head
That cat took my watch my ring my money and I didn't make a sound
But when he reached 'n got my bottle you could hear me for blocks
Around
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Oh gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Beat m' head outta shape but leave my grape
Watch ring and money ain't nothin' but don mess with my wine jim
Well one day my house caught fire while I was layin' down sleepin' off a
Nap
An' when I woke up everything was
Burnin' with a pop an' a crackle an' a
Snap
Now the fireman chopped up my tv set and tore my apartment apart
But when he raised his axe to my bottle I screamed with all my heart
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Oh gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
So I can drink one toast before I roast
No sense goin' out half baked might as well be alll tore up
You can take all those Hollywood glamor girls lana turner rita
Hayworth
Bridget bardot n' lucille ball
And all them chicks 'n line 'em upside the wall
Put a gigantic jug beside 'em n' tell me to take my choice
Well there'd be no doubt which one I chose the minute I raised my
Voice
Gimme that wine unhand that bottle 3 times
Oh unhand that bottle 3 times
Unhand that bottle 3 times
Well those chicks look fine but I love my wine
Now some folks like money some like to dance and dine
But I'll be happy if you give me that wine
Give me that wine
Unhand that bottle
