Wine, Women An' Song
Rock and Roll Revelry: Embracing Life's Simple Joys with Whitesnake
Lyrics
I ain't an educated man
The speaker lacks formal education
As all you Fleet Street preachers know,
Addressing those who are educated, likely from Fleet Street, a reference to journalism or media
It's just the simple things in life
Appreciation for simple pleasures
Get my motor running, ready to go
Simple things excite and motivate the speaker
If I can make you smile
Wants to bring joy to someone
I will raise my glass,
Will celebrate and toast if successful
An' if you don't like it
Challenges those who disagree with the speaker's approach
Then, baby, you can kiss my ass!
Defiant response if someone disapproves
You can tell me it's wrong,
Others may criticize, but the speaker enjoys wine, women, and song
But, I love wine, women an' song
Expresses a fondness for wine, women, and music despite potential judgment
Give me a good time woman,
Desires a fun-loving woman and alcohol
An' a love potion bottle of booze
Wants alcohol as part of the enjoyment
'Cause I got a juke box heart
Speaker's heart is filled with music genres associated with bars and parties
Full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues
Reference to a wild, carefree lifestyle
You better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
Warning to those who might interfere with the speaker's desires
If get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Will pursue desires aggressively if opposed
Ain't nothing you can do
Nothing will stop the speaker
You can tell it's wrong,
Admits societal disapproval but embraces preferences
But I love wine, women an' song
Despite judgment, enjoys wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Reiteration of the speaker's fondness for wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song,
-Wine, women an' song,
-Wine, women an' song
-You get what you can
Suggests taking what's available but not lingering too long
But, don't take too long
Emphasizes the need for swift action in seizing opportunities
Wine, women an' song,
Reaffirmation of enjoying wine, women, and song
Give me a rock an' roll band
Desires a band with a specific musical style
With a mean an' dirty blues guitar,
Wants a band with a gritty blues guitar
Take me to a dance hall palace
Yearns for a venue with a continuous drinking option
With a twenty four hour bar
Preference for a place to party and enjoy music
Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
Repeats the warning to those who might obstruct the speaker
If you get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Will assert desires forcefully if met with opposition
Ain't nothing you can do
Unyielding in pursuing what the speaker wants
You can tell me it's wrong,
Acknowledges societal disapproval but embraces personal preferences
But I love wine, women an' song
Despite criticism, enjoys wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Repeated expression of the speaker's affection for wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song,
-Wine, women an' song,
-Wine, women an' song
-You get what you can
Suggests seizing available opportunities promptly
But, don't take too long,
Emphasizes the importance of not delaying gratification
Wine, women an' song
Reaffirmation of enjoying wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song,
Repeated emphasis on the speaker's love for wine, women, and song
Wine, women an' song,
-Wine, women an' song
-You get what you can
-But, don't take too long,
-Wine, women an' song
-Wine, women an' song
Final emphasis on the speaker's affection for wine, women, and song
