Diogenes, surly and proud
He smiled on the tearaway youth
He delighted in wine
Wine that was good
Oh, as a result of in good wine there was reality
[Chorus]
Oh, for good wine
Oh, for the pleasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophers, poets, and kings
[Verse 2]
Democrates’ wine was well-stored
Of wine he suffered no wrath
And when he was drunk
As drunk as a lord
At those that had been sober, he’d snicker
[Chorus]
And, oh, for good wine
Oh, for the plеasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophеrs, poets, and kings
Copernicus had wine in his veins
Oh, it made his philosophy actual
Then fancied the world
Similar to his brains
Turned ‘spherical like a chariot wheel
[Chorus]
And, oh, for good wine
Oh, for the pleasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophers, poets, and kings
[Verse 4]
Aristotle, that grasp of arts
Had been however a dunce with out wine
Oh, for what we ascribe
Ascribe to his previous
Was because of the juice of the vine
[Chorus]
And, oh, for good wine
Oh, for the pleasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophers, poets, and kings
Outdated Plato was reckoned divine
Who properly to kindness was brung
However had it not been
All the way down to good wine
His deserves he’d by no means been recognized
[Chorus]
Oh, for good wine
Oh, for the pleasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophers, poets, and kings
Oh, for good wine
Oh, for the pleasure it brings
If it wasn’t for wine, we could not sing
Of philosophers, poets, and kings
Of philosophers and poets and kings
