[00:08.565] | Diogenes surly and proud |
[00:12.576] | He started at the tearaway youth |
[00:16.327] | He delighted in wine, wine that was good |
[00:20.575] | Oh, because in good wine there was truth |
[00:24.083] | |
[00:25.063] | Oh, for good wine |
[00:29.088] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
[00:33.578] | If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing |
[00:37.829] | Of philosophers, poets and kings |
[00:42.077] | |
[00:50.575] | Democritus' wine was well stored |
[00:54.569] | With wine he suffered no wrath |
[00:58.574] | And when he was drunk, as drunk as a bird |
[01:02.820] | At those who were sober he'd laugh |
[01:06.320] | |
[01:06.819] | And oh, for good wine |
[01:11.074] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
[01:15.572] | If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing |
[01:19.578] | Of philosophers, poets and kings |
[01:24.324] | |
[01:30.566] | Copernicus had wine in his veins |
[01:34.074] | Oh, it made his philosophy real |
[01:38.308] | Then fancied the world, just like his brains |
[01:42.812] | Turned round like a chariot wheel |
[01:46.565] | |
[01:46.824] | And oh, for good wine |
[01:50.817] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
[01:55.322] | If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing |
[01:59.570] | Of philosophers, poets and kings |
[02:04.323] | |
[02:27.563] | Aristotle that master of arts |
[02:31.824] | Had been but a dance without wine |
[02:35.312] | Oh, for what we ascribe, ascribe to his parts |
[02:39.809] | Was due to the juice of the vine |
[02:43.316] | |
[02:44.062] | And oh, for good wine |
[02:48.066] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
[02:52.569] | If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing |
[02:56.819] | Of philosophers, poets and kings |
[03:01.068] | |
[03:03.565] | Old Plato was reckoned divine |
[03:07.570] | Who wisely, to kindness was prone |
[03:11.321] | But had it not been down to good wine |
[03:15.569] | His merit had never been known |
[03:19.814] | |
[03:20.064] | Oh, for good wine |
[03:23.825] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
[03:28.063] | If it wasn't for wine, we couldn't sing |
[03:32.578] | Of philosophers, poets and kings |
[03:36.316] | |
[03:37.315] | Oh, for good wine |
[03:41.565] | Oh, for the pleasure it brings |
