Gimme That Wine lyrics

PLAY LAMBERT HENDRICKS AND ROSS Gimme That Wine video 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
