Subject: wainwright - drinks before dinner From: GUEST,tjh Date: 04 Apr 02 - 01:13 PM Looking for lyrics or a recording of an old Loudon Wainwright song. Not sure of its proper title. Drinks before dinner... After dinner drinks... The friend we used to play this with is no longer around and we'd like to relearn it. Thanks |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: wainwright - drinks before dinner From: Skipjack K8 Date: 05 Apr 02 - 03:36 AM I've got it on tape somewhere, so I'll try and look it out. It's on his T Shirt LP. Great drinking song. "Drinks before dinner, drinks with dinner, after dinner drinks, ...................., help me Rhonnda, locate my cuff links" Skipjack |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: wainwright - drinks before dinner From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 05 Apr 02 - 08:11 AM Let's see what I remember:
Drinks before dinner and wine with dinner
Don't know who I insulted, This should help someone get started. My vinyl records are in storage, so I cannot access the album. Roger in Baltimore |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: wainwright - drinks before dinner From: aussiebloke Date: 05 Apr 02 - 09:24 PM The song is called: Wine with Dinner. It must be good - he put it twice on the T shirt album. No on-line lyrics yet, this info from his website. T Shirt (1976) LP: Arista AL4063 (U.S.) LP: Arista RTY127 (U.K.) Produced by Loudon Wainwright III

Subject: Lyr Add: WINE WITH DINNER (Loudon Wainwright III) From: Skipjack K8 Date: 08 Apr 02 - 05:47 PM Finally dug out the tape and wore out the pause button to get this lot. You were spot on with that, Rog. Aussiebloke, good job you mentioned the Nightcap version, as I'd clean forgotten it. Here goes. WINE WITH DINNER
Don't know who I insulted. Maybe it was you.
CHORUS:
Sometimes when I drink too much, the next day I can't think. CHORUS Fiddle/honky-tonk piano/guitar break
They say that drink will shrivel my liver and also wreck my looks. CHORUS (fades by Rudolph) WINE WITH DINNER (NIGHTCAP)
(Fades up with instrumental break)
Keep your hemp and your mushrooms, your smack and Nembutal CHORUS .... Help me, Rhonda, search for missing links. (Fades out to drunken tap dance) Apologies to Loudon for dishing out the lyric, but it's a great song, and no one can quite do it like him. Skipjack |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: wainwright - drinks before dinner From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 09 Apr 02 - 07:55 AM Skipjack, Nice work! A friend of mine sent me the lyrics this AM and they agree with yours. On some choruses, Loudon inserts "Search for missing links" in place of "Look for my cufflinks". The drug you were unsure of is Nembutal. It contains Pentobarbital as an active ingredient. In short, it is a barbiturate that depresses the central nervous system. It is highly intoxicating and highly addictive. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: Lyr Add: SUMMER'S ALMOST OVER (L Wainwright III) From: GUEST,Mr.Mojo Date: 16 Aug 09 - 09:09 AM SUMMER'S ALMOST OVER Loudon Wainwright III, from "T Shirt" Summer's almost over. Soon it's back to school. Soon they'll drain the water out of the swimming pool. Adopt a brand new attitude, a positive outlook. Buy yourself some pencils and a loose-leaf notebook. Summer's almost over. A new season's coming up. Time to gird your loins and don your jockstrap and your cup. The hiatus is ended. The lax living has to stop. Get rid of that beer belly. Do wind sprints till you drop. Summer's almost over. September's round the bend. Temperatures are dropping. Summer love must end. The one you met upon the beach and knew in the canoe, You must tell her at the cookout. Your romance is through. Summer's almost over, fading like a tan. Vacation time is running out like an unplugged fan. Labor Day is coming. Wet the old grindstone. For all those lazy, hazy, crazy days you must atone. |
