Like everybody else, I like a night on the town.

But unfortunately, one thing has led to another (yes it has).
Em
I've struggled more than once to put the key in the door,
G C Em C A
Fallen flat on my face on the disco floor,
D A D Em
But if I die, I'm gonna die laughing. (Now listen)
Em
I've sung and I've danced in the streets of Paree,
G C
Discovered my trousers up an old oak tree,
D A
I've walked half naked through the hotel continental. (But you know what)
Em A Em
I'm glad I did what I did when I did it,
A Em
Make no mistake about that.

And i'm glad I said what I said when I said it, Oh yeah.

It was the drink that made me do it.

I know sometimes I blew it.

Every time, Every time.

I've skipped a light fandango, and I've lost my socks.

Even spent the night in a telephone box.
D Em
I'm a sucker when I hear "one more for the road."
G Em D
I've woken up with women that I hardly knew,

Wine is the cause of silly tattoos.

I've raised hell, where hell didn't need no raising.
