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 gla** 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 gla** 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 gla** 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.
