DW Washburn |
| D.W. Washburn, I heard a sweet voice say. |
| D.W. Washburn, this is your lucky day. |
| A hot bowl of soup is waitin'. |
| A hot bowl of soup and a shave. |
| D.W. Washburn, we picked you to say. |
| Can’t you hear the bugle call? Can’t you hear the bells? |
| Even you can be reborn, you naughty |
| If you don’t get out of that gutter, |
| before the next big rain. |
| D.W. Wahsburn, you’re gonna wash right down the drain. |
| Up, up, come on get up off your street. |
| If you can only make it from your hands to your knees, |
| I know you can make it to your feet. Wooah! |
| D.W. Washburn, I said to myself. |
| D.W. Washburn, why don’t you go save sombody else? |
| Well, I got no job to go to. |
| I don’t work and I don’t get paid. |
| I got a bottle of wine, I’m feelin' fine. |
| And I believe I got it made. |
| I’d like to thank all you good people |
| for comin' to my aid. |
| But I’m D.W. Washburn. |
| I do believe I got it made. |
| I do believe I got it made, don’t need nobody. |
| I do believe I got it made, I do believe I got it made. |
| or… |
| DW Washburn I heard a sweet voice say |
| DW Washburn this is your lucky day |
| A hot bowl of soup is waitin' |
| A hot bowl of soup and a shave… |
| DW Washburn… we picked you to SAVE (the whole thing is about the |
| Salvation Army finding some soul that they think needs saving… and the guy |
| is perfectly content as he is) |
| Can’t you hear the FLUGLE HORN? |
| Can’t you hear the band? (Also could be bells… certainly fits the music |
| here… but the band would refer to the Sal Army) |
| Even you can be reborn |
| You naughty n’er — do-well (an archaic term for a slacker) |
| Get up, get outta that gutter |
| Before the next big rain. |
| DW Washburn… you're gonna wash right down the drain. |
| Up, up… c'mon get up (My kid’s favorite part of the song) |
| Get up off your street (has been written as «Seat"in other places, but |
| Micky is clearly saying «Street»…which works in context.) |
| If you can only make it from your hands to your knees, |
| I know you can make it to your feet. whooo |
| DW Washburn I said to myself (Character is going introspective here) |
| DW Washburn Why don’t you go save somebody else? (I.e. we picked you to |
| save, but DW doesn’t give a ****) |
| Well I got no job to go to |
| I don’t work and I don’t get paid |
| I got a bottle of wine |
| I’m feeling fine… And I believe I' got it made. |
| I’d like to thank all you good people |
| For coming to my aid, but I’m |
| DW Washburn |
| I do believe I got it made… etc. to fade |
