Gimme That Wine

Gimme That Wine - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

My wife got tired a' me runnin '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

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice

Gotta have hot lucy when I go walking y'know

Well one day while crossing the avenue

A big car knocked me down

While I was stretched out tyin' up traffic

And crowds came from blocks around

Now the police were searching 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

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

'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

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

Beat m' head outta shape but leave my grape

Watch ring and money ain't nothing

But don mess with my wine jim

Well one day my house caught fire while

I was layin' 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 unhand that bottle

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

Gimme that wine unhand that bottle

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

Unhand that bottle

Unhand that bottle

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

Gimme that wine

Unhand that bottle
