One Drink Too Many

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.

Yeah, we wined and 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 is 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 my place,

Well, I tried to talk her out of going home,

but instead I fell flat on the floor.

And all I remember is a ‘cha-cha-cha’ with the bouncers at the door.

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 my place,

Well, 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.

One drink too many, one drink too many,

one drink too many, one drink too many.

One drink too many, one drink too many,

one drink too many, one drink too many.
