The Wino Has Something To Say

The wino has something to say
So listen and don't run away
He's really a pal and he won't steal your gal
The wino has something to say

The wino was once a big man
He sports a tattoo from Japan
He'll tell you his name if
You play the sad game
The wino was once a big man

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

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

A traveller, a dreamer, a poor man, a schemer
He knows about life much too well
The streets of the cities are alleys of pity
Really his heaven and hell

The wino has something to say
So listen, when you pass his way
