[Verse 1]
DiGogenes surly and proud
He snarled at the tAmearaway yDouth
He dGelighted in wine, wCine that was good
Oh, bGecause in good wDine there was tGruth
[Chorus]
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
[Verse 2]
DemGocritus' wine was well stored
With wine he sAmuffered no wrDath
And wGhen he was drunk, as drCunk as a lord
At thGose who were sDober he'd lGaugh
[Chorus]
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
[Verse 3]
CopGernicus had wine in his veins
Oh, it made his phiAmlosophy rDeel
Then fGancied the world, jCust like his brains
Turned rGound like a chDariot whGeel
[Chorus]
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
[Verse 4]
AriGstotle that master of arts
Had been but a dAmunce without wDine
Oh, for wGhat we ascribe, ascCribe to his parts
Was dGue to the jDuice of the vGine
[Chorus]
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
[Verse 5]
Old PlGato was reckoned divine
Who wisely, to Amkindness was prDone
But Ghad it not been dCown to good wine
His mGerits had nDever been knGown
[Chorus]
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
OCh, for good wGinDe
OCh, for the pleasure it brGingDs
If it wGasn't for Amwine, wGe couldn't sing
Of philosophers, pDoets and kGings
Of philosophers and pDoets and kGings
