Drinking that mess to their delight

(traduzione)

Giù a New Orleans, dove va tutto bene
Tutti quei gatti stanno bevendo quel vino
Bere quel pasticcio con loro gioia
Quando si ubriacano, inizia a cantare tutta la notte
Bere vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Passami quella bottiglia
Bere quel pasticcio con loro gioia
Quando si ubriacano, inizia a litigare tutta la notte
Abbattere le finestre e sfondare le porte
Bere mezzo gallone e chiedere di più
Bere vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Passami quella bottiglia
Ehi, ehi, ehi
Vino, vino, vino, sambuco
Vino, vino, vino, Port Sherry
Vino, vino, vino, Blackberry
Vino, vino, vino, metà e metà
Vino, vino, vino, oh ragazzo
Passami quella bottiglia
Se vuoi andare d'accordo nella città di New Orleans
Compra del vino e passalo in giro
L'età sale per stasera
Tutti quei gatti amano il vino dolce
Bere vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Passami quella bottiglia
Ehi, ehi
Vino, vino, vino, sambuco
Vino, vino, vino, Port Sherry
Vino, vino, vino, Blackberry
Vino, vino, vino, metà e metà
Vino, vino, vino, oh ragazzo
Passami quella bottiglia
Bevi quel drink
È di questo che sto parlando
Ah, bevilo
Pete subdolo
Ora giù su Rampart Street a Willy's Den
Non vendeva ma una branchia di gin
Un gatto voleva una bottiglia di vino
Ha colpito quel gatto per un dollaro e un centesimo
Bere vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Passami quella bottiglia
Ehi, ehi
Vino, vino, vino, sambuco
Vino, vino, vino, Port Sherry
Vino, vino, vino, Blackberry
Vino, vino, vino, metà e metà
Vino, vino, vino, oh ragazzo
Passami quella bottiglia
Io ho un nickel, tu hai un centesimi
Ritroviamoci e prendiamo un po' di vino
Alcuni al quinto e altri al quarto
Oh quando compri lo sherry, ora fai le cose in modo intelligente
Bere vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Vino spo-dee-o-dee, bere vino, bop ba
Passami quella bottiglia
