Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor and comedian of Italian descent. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed “The King of Cool.” Martin gained his career breakthrough together with comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television and in films.
Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor. Martin established himself as a singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together with several others formed the Rat Pack.
Here we sit enjoying the shade
Drink the drink that I have made
Tell you why the day is sunny
I’m in love with lips of honey
Wait ’til you see the way she walks
Hey brother pour the wine
She is coming here to stay
I have waited for the day
She writes of love in every letter
Others have tried but I will get her
Wait ’til you see the way she walks
Hey brother pour the wine
What is life
What is loving
What are all the stars that shine
Love my friend is everything
And love will soon be mine
Pour it quickly as you can
Pour it quickly once again
She’s here at last my one and only
Goodbye friends and don’t be lonely
Wait ’til you see the way she walks
Hey brother pour the wine
Blink your eyes and love has passed
Hers was never made to last
She introduced me to another
No my friends, he’s not her brother
I will miss the way she walks
Hey brother pour the wine
Hey brother pour the wine
