| Well I met her at party
|
| At, somewhere by sea
|
| She was tall and she was lovely
|
| And she said hello to me
|
| We said all the usual things that you say at a party
|
| I told her some real funny jokes
|
| She broke down and cried
|
| Well we were drinking scotch and cola
|
| And the smoke was far too much
|
| She was leaning on my shoulder
|
| And our hands began to touch
|
| I said, «Do you fancy a dance?»
|
| She said, «But we’re dancing»
|
| I said, «Then let’s have a drink»
|
| And she said, «All righty»
|
| Now we were drinking to the music
|
| And when suddenly I saw
|
| I was holding onto three of her
|
| That’s two more than before
|
| I said, «Would you care for a stroll?»
|
| She said, «Yes I’d like to»
|
| We went for a walk in the mist
|
| Fell over a cliff
|
| When I work up in the morning
|
| Well it sure felt good to be
|
| Just lying in my bath tub
|
| And not the bottom of the sea
|
| I looked at my eyes in glass
|
| Said «Never again»
|
| And just they looked back at me
|
| The telephone rang
|
| Hello
|
| Hello, Cliff. |
| It’s Brucie. |
| Listen, you didn’t take that darling home last night,
|
| did you?"
|
| That’s right. |
| I didn’t take that darling home last night
|
| Oh. |
| Anyway listen, there’s a great new party on tonight
|
| Do you fancy coming?
|
| No, thanks. |
| Once in a lifetime is enough for me
|
| Oh |
