| Well
|
| the table is set
|
| the candles are lit
|
| And there’s the knock on the door.
|
| Boy! |
| She’s looking pretty
|
| all dressed up Now who could have wished for more.
|
| Yes
|
| we wined anc! |
| dined and all was fine
|
| Knowing that she was game
|
| But' then I went and really spoiled it all
|
| By filling up my glass again.
|
| (For) one drink too many took the smile right off of her face
|
| One lousy drink too many took the girl right out of my place
|
| Well
|
| I tried to talk her out of going home
|
| But instead I fell flat on the floor
|
| And all I remember ist a great big bang
|
| I guess she must have slammed the door.
|
| Well a couple of days and a hangover later
|
| She gave me one more chance.
|
| But only if I took her to «CHEZ MAXIM»
|
| For a fancy dinner and dance.
|
| So we came to seek
|
| cheek to cheek
|
| That moment we’d known before.
|
| But then I went and did it all again
|
| By filling up my glass once more.
|
| (For) one drink too many took the smile right off of her face.
|
| One lousy drink too many took the girl right out of that place.
|
| Well
|
| I tried to talk her out of going home
|
| But instead I fell flat on the floor.
|
| And all I remember ist a 'cha-cha-cha'
|
| With the bouncers at the door.
|
| Yes
|
| we came to seek
|
| cheek to cheek
|
| That moment we’d known before.
|
| But then I went and did it all again
|
| By filling up my glass once more.
|
| (For) one drink too many took the smile right off of her face.
|
| One lousy drink too many took the girl right out of that place.
|
| Yes
|
| I tried to talk her out of going home
|
| But instead I fell flat on the floor.
|
| I guess I need to work it out again like keeping myself ashore. |
