Testi Soundtracks :: S

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...



::chorus::: Gimme that wine (--Unhand that bottle--) (--3 times--)

'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice.

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



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

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

around

Now the po-lice were searchin 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



::chorus::: Gimme that wine (--Unhand that bottle--) (--3 times--)

'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



::chorus::: Gimme that wine (--Unhand that bottle--) (--3 times--)

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

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



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

nap

An' when I woke up everything was burnin' 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...



::chorus::: Gimme that wine (--Unhand that bottle--) (--3 times--)

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.



::chorus::: Gimme that wine (--Unhand that bottle--) (--3 times--)

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
