5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
