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 |
