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.

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.
