Ginned Up Lyrics

You could give her muddy water and she’d turn it into wine
She’s nobody’s honey; she’s a neighbor of mine
If I come home with my tail between my legs
She comes to my rescue; brings her Tanqueray
And she squeeze my limes
one at a time
adds a little tonic with a bit of quinine
Now she’s all ginned up
Yeah, she’s all ginned up
Oh, I fill her cup
When she’s all ginned up
Juniper berries, Angelica root
You know what the queen Mamma used to do
You never saw her with her tail between her legs
Cause she could afford Beefeater all day

And she’d squeeze those limes
one at a time
Add a little tonic with a bit of quinine
Cause she was all ginned up
Yeah, she was all ginned up
She’d fill her cup
then she’d be all ginned up
My old drinkin buddy, she moved to Reykjavik
She calls me on the phone; when she gets home sick
I came home from work, just the other day
She was waiting in my kitchen with some Bombay
And she squeeze my limes
one at a time
Adds a little tonic with a bit of quinine
And we were all ginned up
Yeah, all ginned up
I filled her cup
When we were all ginned up
