Sailor

Well, the table is set, the candles are lit
And there's a knock on the door ("Ding! Dong!")
Boy, she's looking pretty, all dressed up,
Now who could have wished for more
Well, we wined and dined, all was fine
Knowing that she was game
And 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 that 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.
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.
