Lyrics
Water & wine
Water & wine
They're all I need, about all of the time
One'll get you drunk and the other make you fine
Nothing I need but water & wine
Pass me another of that Chardonnay
While I'm at work or while I'm at play
Wash it down with a Cabernet
I don't care what the people say
How about a little fine fine Sherry
Doesn't take much to make me merry
Watch out for too much Shiraz
Or you'll find me flat on my ... hey hey!
Water & wine..
Two cups of water before bed
Antidote for an aching head
You got to go to sleep, well hydrated
If you wanna start the next day well-sedated
A little glass of water, now and then
Helps a parched man sing again
If that water hurts too much
Mix it up with a little scotch
Water & wine...
