Lyrics: When she said she did not love me That’s when I lost all hope So I jumped into a river Called The New House Of The Pope
Now some they want their coffee And some just want their dope But lately I’ve been drinking At The New House Of The Pope
Now I do not even know, dear Who has made this symphony But he gave you thirteen kisses And that’s why you taste so sweet
In the evening I want my coffee And in the morning I want my dope And in the afternoons I’m drinking In the New House Of The Pope Yeah, lately I’ve been drinking At The New House Of The Pope
Notes: New House of the Pope comes from the French "Châteauneuf-du-Pape", a wine named after the so-called Babylonian Captivity, wherein the papal residence was moved to France for much of the 14th century. During that period, vineyards were planted in the stony soil and the resulting red wine was christened "Châteauneuf-du-Pape". There is also a village called Châteauneuf-du-Pape, near Avignon.
Traditionally, thirteen specific grape varieties are used to make Châteauneuf-du-Pape, including some whites. But that's rarely the case now, most vintners use strictly red grapes. Permissible varieties include; Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Muscardin, Vaccarese, Picpoul and Terret Noir, all red. Rousanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picardin are white.
