Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee
Down in New Orlean, where ev'rything is fine
All, them cats, is drinkin that wine
Drinking that mess, their delight
When they get drunk, start singing all night

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Pass that bottle to me

Drinking that mess, their delight
When they get drunk, start fighting all night
Knocking down windows and tearin' out doors
Drinkin' half a gallon and callin' for more

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy, hoy
Wine, wine, wine (elderberry)
Wine, wine, wine (or sherry)
Wine, wine, wine (blackberry)
Wine, wine, wine (half 'n half)
Wine, wine, wine (oh, boy)
Pass that bottle to me

If you wanna get along, in New Orleans town
Buy some wine and pass it all around
Age runs up for tonight
All those cats, they love sweet wine

Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Wine spo-dee-o-dee, drinkin' wine (bop, ba)
Pass that bottle to me

Hoy, hoy
Wine, wine, wine (elderberry)
Wine, wine, wine (or sherry)
Wine, wine, wine (blackberry)
Wine, wine, wine (half 'n half)
Wine, wine, wine (oh, boy)
Pass that bottle to me

Drink that slop
That's what I'm talkin' about
Ah, drink it
Sneaky Pete

Now down on Rampart street at Willy's Den
He wasn't selling but a little gin
One cat wanted a bottle of wine
He hit that cat
