Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The wino has something to say
So listen and don't run away
He's really a pal and he wont steal your gal
The wino has something to say
[Verse 2]
The wino was once a big man
He sports a tattoo from Japan
He'll tell you his name if you
Play the set game
The wino was once a big man
[Verse 3]
A traveller a dreamer a poor man
A schemer
He knows about life much too well
The streets of the city are alleys of pity
Really his heaven and hell
[Verse 4]
The wino cools off in the rain
He dreams of expensive champagne
A bottle a day keeps the cruel world away
The wino cools off in the rain
[Verse 5]
A traveller a dreamer a poor man
A schemer
He knows about life much too well
The streets of the city are alleys of pity
Really his heaven and hell
[Verse 6]
The wino has something to say
So listen when you pass his way
