Lyrics D.W. Washburn - The Monkees
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.
Can't
you
hear
the
bugle
call?
Can′t
you
hear
the
bells?
Even
you
can
be
reborn,
you
naughty
If
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
people
For
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
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)
Can′t
you
hear
the
FLUGLE
HORN?
Can′t
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
n'er
- do-well
(an
archaic
term
for
a
slacker)
Get
up,
get
outta
that
gutter
Before
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,
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
don't
you
go
save
somebody
else?
(I.e.
we
picked
you
to
Save,
but
DW
doesn′t
give
a
****)
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
feeling
fine...
And
I
believe
I′
got
it
made.
I'd
like
to
thank
all
you
good
people
For
coming
to
my
aid,
but
I′m
DW
Washburn
I
do
believe
I
got
it
made...
