Swingers Too! movie - Gimme That Wine lyrics

rate me

Song by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross<br /><br>

My wife got tired a' me runnin 'round, so she tried to keep me home-<br>

Well, she broke my nose and hid my clothes, but I continued to roam.<br>

Then she finally hit my weak spot - threatened to throw my bottle out<br>

Well, from the basement to the rooftop, everybody could hear me shout...<br>

<br>

Chorus: Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle) (3 times)<br>

'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice.<br>

Gotta have hot lucy when I go walkin' y'know.<br>

<br>

Well, one day while crossin the avenue, a big car knocked me down.<br>

While I was stretched out tyin' up traffic and crowds came from blocks<br>

around<br>

Now the po-lice were searchin my pockets, before they sent me to the<br>

funeral parlor,<br>

But when one o' those cops took my bottle, Jack, I jumped straight up<br>

and commenced to hollar<br>

<br>

Chorus: Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle) (3 times)<br>

'Cause I can't get well without Muskatel<br>

I only drink for medicinal purposes anyway<br>

<br>

Well, now, one real dark and dreary night as I was staggerin' home t'<br>

bed,<br>

Well, a bandit jumped from the shadows and put a blackjack 'side my<br>

head.<br>

That cat took my watch, my ring, my money, And I didn't make a sound,<br>

but when he reached 'n got my bottle, you could hear me for blocks<br>

around<br>

<br>

Chorus: Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle) (3 times)<br>

Beat m' head outta shape, but leave my grape.<br>

Watch, ring and money ain't nothin' but don mess with my wine, JIm.<br>

<br>

Well one day my house caught fire while I was layin' down sleepin' off a<br>

nap<br>

An' when I woke up everything was burnin' with a pop an' a crackle an' a<br>

snap.<br>

Now the fireman chopped up my TV set and tore my apartment apart,<br>

But when he raised his axe to my bottle, I screamed with all my heart...<br>

<br>

Chorus: Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle) (3 times)<br>

So I can drink one toast before I roast.<br>

No sense goin' out half baked, Might as well be Alll tore up<br>

<br>

You can take all those Hollywood glamor girls- Lana Turner, Rita<br>

Hayworth,<br>

Bridget Bardot, n' Lucille Ball,<br>

and all them chicks 'n line 'em upside the wall<br>

Put a GIGANTIC jug beside 'em, n' tell me to take my choice.<br>

Well, there'd be no doubt which one I chose, the minute I raised my<br>

voice.<br>

<br>

Chorus: Gimme that wine (Unhand that bottle) (3 times)<br>

Well those chicks look fine, but I love my wine.<br>

Now some folks like money, some like to dance and dine,<br>

But I'll be happy If you give me that wine<br>

<br>
