[00:05.55] D.W. Washburn, I heard a sweet voice say.
[00:12.06] D.W. Washburn, this is your lucky day.
[00:22.74] A hot bowl of soup is waitin'.
[00:27.06] A hot bowl of soup and a shave.
[00:31.38] D.W. Washburn, we picked you to say.
[00:37.35] Can't you hear the bugle call? Can't you hear the bells?
[00:48.57] Even you can be reborn, you naughty
[01:00.66] If you don't get out of that gutter,
[01:01.44] before the next big rain.
[01:05.49] D.W. Wahsburn, you're gonna wash right down the drain.
[01:07.80] Up, up, come on get up off your street.
[01:21.66] If you can only make it from your hands to your knees,
[01:25.83] I know you can make it to your feet. Wooah!
[01:28.29] D.W. Washburn, I said to myself.
[01:39.60] D.W. Washburn, why don't you go save sombody else?
[01:46.23] Well, I got no job to go to.
[01:51.09] I don't work and I don't get paid.
[01:54.78] I got a bottle of wine, I'm feelin' fine.
[01:59.34] And I believe I got it made.
[01:59.88] I'd like to thank all you good people
[02:00.57] for comin' to my aid.
[02:01.02] But I'm D.W. Washburn.
[02:02.46] I do believe I got it made.
[02:03.27] I do believe I got it made, don't need nobody.
[02:04.17] I do believe I got it made, I do believe I got it made.
[02:05.25] or...
[02:05.31] DW Washburn I heard a sweet voice say
[02:06.99] DW Washburn this is your lucky day
[02:07.95] A hot bowl of soup is waitin'
[02:08.52] A hot bowl of soup and a shave...
[02:09.24] DW Washburn...we picked you to SAVE (the whole thing is about the
[02:10.53] Salvation Army finding some soul that they think needs saving....and the guy
[02:12.21] is perfectly content as he is)
[02:12.99] Can't you hear the FLUGLE HORN?
[02:13.62] Can't you hear the band? (Also could be bells...certainly fits the music
[02:15.24] here...but the band would refer to the Sal Army)
[02:16.26] Even you can be reborn
[02:16.77] You naughty n'er - do-well (an archaic term for a slacker)
[02:17.97] Get up, get outta that gutter
[02:18.54] Before the next big rain.
[02:19.08] DW Washburn...you're gonna wash right down the drain.
[02:20.13] Up, up...c'mon get up (My kid's favorite part of the song)
[02:21.48] Get up off your street (has been written as "Seat" in other places, but
[02:23.10] Micky is clearly saying "Street" ...which works in context.)
[02:24.69] If you can only make it from your hands to your knees,
[02:25.92] I know you can make it to your feet..whooo
[02:26.61] DW Washburn I said to myself (Character is going introspective here)
[02:28.59] DW Washburn Why don't you go save somebody else? (I.e. we picked you to
[02:30.12] save, but DW doesn't give a ****)
[02:30.90] Well I got no job to go to
[02:31.53] I don't work and I don't get paid
[02:32.37] I got a bottle of wine
[02:33.00] I'm feeling fine.......And I believe I' got it made.
[02:33.84] I'd like to thank all you good people
[02:34.53] For coming to my aid, but I'm
[02:35.31] DW Washburn
[02:35.73] I do believe I got it made.....etc. to fade
