D.W. 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.
Cant you hear the bugle call? Cant you hear the bells?
Even you can be reborn, you naughty
If you dont get out of that gutter,
before the next big rain.
D.W. Wahsburn, youre 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 dont you go save sombody else?
Well, I got no job to go to.
I dont work and I dont get paid.
I got a bottle of wine, Im feelin fine.
And I believe I got it made.
Id like to thank all you good people
for comin to my aid.
But Im D.W. Washburn.
I do believe I got it made.
I do believe I got it made, dont 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)
Cant you hear the FLUGLE HORN?
Cant 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 ner - do-well (an archaic term for a slacker)
Get up, get outta that gutter
Before the next big rain.
DW Washburn...youre gonna wash right down the drain.
Up, up...cmon get up (My kids 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 dont you go save somebody else? (I.e. we picked you to
save, but DW doesnt give a ****)
Well I got no job to go to
I dont work and I dont get paid
I got a bottle of wine
Im feeling fine... ....And I believe I got it made.
Id like to thank all you good people
For coming to my aid, but Im
DW Washburn
I do believe I got it made. ....etc. to fade
