A uno, dos
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro
You see that black boy over there running scared?
His old man in a bottle
He done quit his nine to five, he drink full time
Now he's living in a bottle
You see that black boy over there running scared?
His old man got a problem
And it's a bad one
He done pawned off damn near everything
His old woman a wedding 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 living in a bottle
Listen to me
You see that sister sure was fine
Oh, she's finally drinking wine
From the bottle
She told me
Her old man committed a crime
He's doing time
Now she's hanging in a bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue
All by herself and sure need help
From the bottle
I seen her
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, "Gill now
Don't you think it's a crime
The way, time after time after time
People in a bottle?"
There's people showing up in the bottle
Give you another good example
You see that gent in the wrinkled suit there?
He done damn near blown his cool
In a bottle
He was a doctor helping young girls along
If they wasn't too far gone
To have problems
But the defenders of the dollar eagle
Said, "What you're doing, man, ain't legal"
Now he's in a bottle
And now we watch him every day
He's trying to chase the pigeons away
From the bottle
He turned to me, he said, "Gippie had now
Don't you think it's a crime
The way, time after time, friends of mine
In a bottle?"
There's people showing up in the bottle
Come on, hit a little lick one time, stick, huh
I'll tell you a little secret
If you ever come looking for me
You'll know where I'm bound to be
In a bottle
Turn around, look around on any corner
If you see some brother looking like a goner
It's gonna be me
Sing the song
A dollar nine, a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
And a bottle
All that I'm concerned about is a bottle
It can turn me inside out, but bottle
All I want, said, all I want, said, all I want, said, all I want
Since I'm living on the bottom, a bottle
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I
Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough, sure
Enough, sure enough, sure enough, sure enough
Sure enough, sure enough, sure enough, sure enough
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right here
