The Lyrics
OK, this song's about three sheets ta. . .
The time to drink has come today.
A grand cru is a friend o' me, uh,
But sangria! That crap's outrée.
Sangria, I won't drink it, no way;
It makes me spew just like crap grappa.
Marsala, I'll swig some o' that.
I'll bend my arm and down 10 flat
Or gorge on Bordeaux that ain't from Napa.
Much charm have certain drinks,
Such as wine, from grapes born.
Raison, raison d'être is sure:
Washed in wine waves night, morn.
The time to drink has come today.
A grand cru is a friend o' me, uh,
But sangria! That crap's outrée.
Sangria, I won't drink it, no way;
It makes me spew just like crap grappa.
Marsala, I'll swig some o' that.
I'll bend my arm and down 10 flat
Or gorge on Bordeaux that ain't from Napa.
Much charm have certain drinks,
Such as wine, from grapes born.
Raison, raison d'être is sure:
Washed in wine waves night, morn.
