"D.W. Washburn",

I heard a sweet voice say

"D.W. Washburn

This is your lucky day,

A hot bowl of soup is waiting,

A hot bowl of soup and a shave,

D.W. Washburn

We picked you to save"

"Can't you hear the fluegel horn,

Can't you hear the bell?

"Even you can be reborn you naughty neer-do-well,

If you don't get outta that gutter

Before the next big rain,

D.W. Washburn

You're gonna wash right down the drain"

"Up! up!

C'mon get up!

Get up off your street,

If you can only make it to your hands and knees

I know you can make it to your feet."

"D.W. Washburn",

I said to myself,

"D.W. Washburn

why don't they go save somebody else?

You see I got no job to go to,

I don't work and I don't get paid,

I got a bottle of wine and I'm feelin' fine

And I do believe I've got it made

I'd like to thank all you good people

For coming to my aid,

But I'm D.W. Washburn

And I believe I've got it made (D.W. Washburn)

I do believe I've got it made (D.W. Wasburn)

Don't need no body (D.W. Washburn)

I believe I've got it made....."
