Lyrics Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III

Wine With Dinner

Don’t know who I insulted, maybe it was you

The drinks I had resulted in a tirade or two

I went downtown to get in trouble

I accomplished that

Drank some drinks, flew off the handle,

Right off of the bat

R:

Drinks before dinner

And wine with dinner

And after-dinner drinks

Single-entendre, help me Rhonda

Look for my cufflinks

Come with me and you will see

It all will be all right

Rudolph the red-nosed wino

Is gonna guide our sleigh tonight

Sometimes when I drink too much

The next day I can’t think

Sometimes when I drink too much

The next day I can’t drink

Sometimes when I drink too much

I feel like throwing up

Sometimes when I drink too much

I cannot get it up

R:

They say the drink will shrivel my liver

And also wreck my looks

But my hero is Dino Martin

I like Foster Brooks

I know a little cozy joint

Where you and I can go

Let’s us spend a lost weekend

Under the volcano

R:

Keep your hemp and your mushrooms

Your smack and Nembutal

Me, I’m into fruit and grains

Gimme a1cohol

Call me thirsty, call me oral

Call me what you like

But when I’m sober, call me Loudon

Do not call me Mike

Drinks before dinner

And wine with dinner

And after-dinner drinks

Single-entendre, help me Rhonda

Search for missing links

Come with me and you will see

It all will be all right

Rudolph the red-nosed wino

Is gonna guide our sleigh tonight
