Monkees - D.w. Washburn Lyrics
Lead vocal: micky dolenzProduced by: the monkeesD.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.Can't you hear the bugle call? can't you hear the bells?Even you can be reborn, you naughtyIf you don't get out of that gutter,Before the next big rain.D.w. wahsburn, you're 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 don't you go save sombody else?Well, i got no job to go to.I don't work and i don't get paid.I got a bottle of wine, i'm feelin' fine.And i believe i got it made.I'd like to thank all you good peopleFor comin' to my aid.But i'm d.w. washburn.I do believe i got it made.I do believe i got it made, don't need nobody.I do believe i got it made, i do believe i got it made.Or...Dw washburn i heard a sweet voice sayDw washburn this is your lucky dayA 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 theSalvation army finding some soul that they think needs saving....and the guyIs perfectly content as he is)Can't you hear the flugle horn?Can't you hear the band? (also could be bells...certainly fits the musicHere...but the band would refer to the sal army)Even you can be rebornYou naughty n'er - do-well (an archaic term for a slacker)Get up, get outta that gutterBefore the next big rain.Dw washburn...you're gonna wash right down the drain.Up, up...c'mon get up (my kid's favorite part of the song)Get up off your street (has been written as "seat" in other places, butMicky 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..whoooDw washburn i said to myself (character is going introspective here)Dw washburn why don't you go save somebody else? (i.e. we picked you toSave, but dw doesn't give a ****)Well i got no job to go toI don't work and i don't get paidI got a bottle of wineI'm feeling fine.......and i believe i' got it made.I'd like to thank all you good peopleFor coming to my aid, but i'mDw washburnI do believe i got it made.....etc. to fade
