    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
