You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy

If you don't stop drinking that wine

It's gonna poison your mind

You gotta stop drinking that old wine sonny boy



You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you

You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you

Everybody's going out

Going out to enjoy

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy



You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop

You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop

You drink whiskey have a tiny wee drop

‘Cos you just don't know when to stop

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy



You gotta stop, bop, bop, bop

Gotta stop, bop, bop, bop

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy

Everybody else going out

Going out to enjoy

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy



Gotta stop, bop, bop, bop, bop

You gotta stop

Stop drinking that old wine sonny boy

If you don't stop drinking that wine

It's gonna poison your mind

You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
