Lyrics The Bottle

Ha ha ha ha

Oh uno

Dos

Uno dos tres cuatro

You see that black boy over there runnin' scared

His old man in a bottle

He done quit his nine to five

He drink full-time and now he's livin' in a bottle

See that black boy over there runnin' scared

His old man got a problem and it's a bad one

He done pawned off damn near everything

His old woman's weddin' ring for a bottle

And don't you think it's a crime when time after time after time

People in a bottle

There's people livin' in a bottle

Listen to me

See that sister sure was fine 'fore she started drinkin' wine from the bottle

She told me her old man committed a crime

He's doin' time

Now she's hangin' in the bottle

I seen her out there on the avenue all by herself

Sure need help from the bottle

I seen a preacher man tried to help her out

She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle

They turned to me

They asked me Gil now

Don't you think it's a crime knowin' time after time after time

People in the bottle

There's people sure 'nough in the bottle

Give another good example

You see that gent in a wrinkled suit there

He not done damn blown his cool to the bottle

He was a doctor helpin' young girls along if they wasn't too far gone to have problems

Uh but the defenders of the dollar eagle said What you're doin' man ain't legal

Now he's in the bottle

And now we watch him every day

He's tryin' to chase the pigeons away from the bottle

He turned to me and said

Keep ya head now

And don't you think it's a crime the way time after time friends of mine in the bottle

There's people sure 'nough in the bottle

Come on hit the lick one time Stick

Huh

Uh huh

I'll tell you a little secret

If you ever come lookin' for me-e you know where I'm bound to be

In the bottle

Turn around

Look around on any corner

If you see some brother lookin' like a goner

It's gonna be me

Sing the song

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Ho nah mmh nah

Ho nah nah

Hah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Mmh nah nah nah nah nah

Hah nah nah hah mmh nah

Mmh nah nah

A dollar-nine or a bottle of wine

A dollar-nine get a bottle of wine

In the bottle

All that I'm concerned about is a bottle

It can turn me inside-out of the bottle

Said all I want, said all I want

Since I'm livin' on the bottom of a bottle

Eh ah ah eh ah ah

Eh ah ah ah

Eh ah ah ah ah

Sure 'nough

Sure 'nough, sure 'nough

Sure 'nough

Hoo
