Bruce Springsteen - Gimmie That Wine

Well my wife got tired and me running around, so she tried to keep me at home
You know she bust my nose and hid my clothes, but I continued to roam
She tries finally hit my weak spot, threatened to throw my bottle out
From the basement to the rooftop, everybody could hear me shout

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
You know I can't cut lose without my juice
Dum dum dum dum dum

Well one day when I was walking home staggering home to bed
A bandit jumped from the shadows, put a blackjack aside my head
That cat took my watch, my ring, my money and I didn't make a sound
But when he reached in for my bottle Jim, you could hear for blocks around

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Beat my head out of shape, but leave my grape
Dum dum dum dum dum

Well one day when I was laying down awful napping
When I woke up everything was burning with a snap, and a crackle and a pop
You know the fireman chopped up my TV set and tore my apartment apart
But when he raised his axe on my bottle, Jim, I had screamed with all my heart

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Let me take one toast before I roast
Dum dum dum dum dum

Well one day when I was crossing the avenue, a big car knocked me down
When I was laying out tying up traffic, crowd came from blocks around
You know the policemen were searching my pockets before they took me to the funeral parlor
When he reached in for my bottle, Jim, I jumped straight up and commenced to holler

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
You know I can't get well without muscatel

You know you can take all them Hollywood glamour girls, Rita Haywood, Bridgette Bardot, Lana Turner
And put 'em upside the wall
Put a gigantic bottle beside 'em, and tell me to take my choice
Well there'd be no doubt 'bout the one I chose the minute I raise my voice

Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Gimme that wine
Well them 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, alright
Can I have that bottle baby
Oh muscatel or half and half
