| I was lying and stayed on my attaless couch
 | 
| I said, Doc, I’ve got the feeling
 | 
| I’ve been calling a grouch
 | 
| You know, my all chairs are falling
 | 
| And I’m a devil being a slouch
 | 
| He said he reached inside his hard hands
 | 
| For a alligator pouch
 | 
| And he said
 | 
| Once in the morning and once at night
 | 
| I’m not sure that it will help you
 | 
| But you don’t think it’s alright
 | 
| Once in the afternoon and once by twilight
 | 
| Once for the morning and again round midnight
 | 
| I was playing in Las Vegas
 | 
| I was feeling kinda flat
 | 
| When Jan the fan dancer
 | 
| Came by for a chat
 | 
| You know, she loosened up her A-string
 | 
| And she reached outside her hat
 | 
| She said, «you'll play with this
 | 
| Son, I’ll play with that"(yeah-eah)
 | 
| Once in the morning and once at night
 | 
| I’m not sure that it will help you
 | 
| But you don’t think it’s alright
 | 
| Once in the afternoon and once by twilight
 | 
| Once for the morning and again round midnight
 | 
| I was hanging round London
 | 
| Trying to pick up a new line
 | 
| When the man I did not know
 | 
| He invited me a dime
 | 
| He said, «we can make each other happy
 | 
| You know, we’re both the same kind
 | 
| And I’ll write some of yours
 | 
| If you please take some of mine
 | 
| Once in the morning and once at night
 | 
| I’m not sure that it will help you
 | 
| But you don’t think it’s alright
 | 
| Once in the afternoon and once by twilight
 | 
| Once for the morning and again
 | 
| Once for the morning and again
 | 
| Once for the morning and again |
