Lyrics and translation Lionel Hampton - Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee

Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee

Down in Petersburg everything's fine
All them cats is drinkin' that wine
Drinkin' that mess is their delight
When it gets rough, start singin' all night

Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Pass that bottle to me

Drinkin' that mess is their delight
When it gets rough, start fighin' all night
Knockin' down windows and tearin' down doors
Drinkin' half-gallons, and callin' for more

Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Pass that bottle to me

If you want to get along and see the stars
Buy some wine and pass it around
Age goin' up to 49
All them cats, they love sweet wine

Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (muc-muc)
Pass that bottle to me

(Wine, wine, wine)
Hail the barrel
(Wine, wine, wine)
Share it, share it
(Wine, wine, wine)
Black berry
(Wine, wine, wine)
Go on and share it
(Wine, wine, wine)
Ohh, pass that bottle to me

Knock down on Bill Street in Woli's Den
They wouldn't sell no American gin
One sold you one, and bottle of wine
You hit that cat for a dollar and nine

Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Pass that bottle to me

Now I've got a nickel, you've got a dime
Let's get together, get some wine
Some buy a fifth, some buy a quarter
But when you get together, you don't think smart

Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Drink wine, Spo-dee-o-dee, drink wine (spuc-spuc)
Pass that bottle to me (spuc-spuc)

Buvant du Vin, Spo-Dee-O-Dee

En bas à Petersburg, tout va bien, ma chérie
Tous ces gars boivent ce vin
Boire ce truc est leur délice
Quand ça devient rude, ils chantent toute la nuit

Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Passe-moi cette bouteille, ma belle

Boire ce truc est leur délice
Quand ça devient rude, ils se battent toute la nuit
Cassant les fenêtres et défonçant les portes
Buvant des demis-gallons, et en redemandant

Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Passe-moi cette bouteille, ma belle

Si tu veux t'entendre et voir les étoiles, ma douce
Achète du vin et fais-le tourner
L'âge monte jusqu'à 49 ans
Tous ces gars, ils adorent le vin doux

Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Passe-moi cette bouteille, ma belle

(Vin, vin, vin)
Salut le baril
(Vin, vin, vin)
Partage-le, partage-le
(Vin, vin, vin)
Mûre noire
(Vin, vin, vin)
Vas-y et partage-le
(Vin, vin, vin)
Ohh, passe-moi cette bouteille, ma jolie

En bas sur Bill Street au Woli's Den
Ils ne vendaient pas de gin américain
On t'en vendait un, et une bouteille de vin
Tu frappais ce gars pour un dollar et neuf cents

Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Passe-moi cette bouteille, ma belle

Maintenant j'ai cinq cents, tu as dix cents, chérie
Mettons-nous ensemble, prenons du vin
Certains achètent un cinquième, d'autres un quart
Mais quand vous vous réunissez, vous ne pensez pas intelligemment

Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Bois du vin, Spo-dee-o-dee, bois du vin (glou-glou)
Passe-moi cette bouteille, ma belle (glou-glou)
