Gimme That Wine

Gimme That Wine - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

Written by：J Hendricks

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

Gimme that wine

Gimme that wine

Cause I can't cut loose without my juice

One day crossing the avenue

A big car knocked me down

I was stretched out tying up traffic

And crowds came from blocks around

While the police were searching my pockets

Before they sent me to the funeral parlour

One of those cops touched my bottle jack

I jumped straight up and commenced to hollar

Gimme that wine

Gimme that wine

Gimme that wine

I just can't get well without muskatel

One day my house caught fire

While I was laying down sleeping off a nap

An' when I woke up everything

Was burning 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

Gimme that wine

So I can drink one toast before I roast

No sense going out half baked

Might as well be alll tore up

You can take all those Hollywood glamor

Girls

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

Gimme that wine

Gimme that wine

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

If you give me that wine
