SAUVIGNON BLANC, SIR?
© Farouk Asvat
My comrade is drinking de sauvignon blanc
And my sister is drinking de sauvignon verde
And my brother is drinking de sauvignon rosé
It used to be
That de blanco drank de sauvignon blanc
It used to be
That de boss drank de sauvignon verde
It used to be
That de tyrant drank de sauvignon rosé
But now it is de noir
That is drinking de sauvignon blanc
But now it is de nouveau blanco
That is drinking de sauvignon verde
But now it is de comrade
That is drinking de sauvignon rosé
Drinking de blood of my brother
Son-of-a-bitch, Sir?
