Sailor - One drink too many 1977

Sailor - One drink too many 1977

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
and who could have wished for more.

Yes 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 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 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.

(Instrumental)

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 my 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.

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

One drink too many
One drink too many
