(The Rise And Fall Of A Budding Gigolo)

(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Davis)
|
|
Well I arrived on time
|
My courduroy suit and me bottle of wine
|
There were women wall to wall
|
It's Saturday night and I wanted them all
|
everyone
|
|
Sidled up for a dance
|
I tried a new step and fell in the plants
|
I told a joke, about the Pope
|
It wasn't as funny as I would've hoped
|
|
Nobody told me she was the daughter
|
of the mayor
|
I was so embarrassed, I just wished the
|
ground would swallow me up
|
Accidentally my elbow hit the record player
|
The rock 'n' roll stopped
|
and everybody just stared
|
(oh no)
|
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
This party's gone right to my head
|
|
I didn't worry, not me
|
Panic ain't in my vocabulary
|
Smashed beyond reproach
|
Suddenly I wanted to take off my clothes
|
|
All hell broke loose
|
I started to take off my trousers and shoes
|
And so I tried to look cool
|
I stepped back and fell in the pool
|
|
The hostess helped me out
|
and asked for my dismissal
|
I said I was sorry, but I've been
|
under so much pressure
|
just lately, baby
|
I felt as popular as a Russian guided missile
|
The last thing I remember, I left with a girl
|
on a motor bike
|
That weighed three hundred pounds and
|
what's wrong with that
|
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
This party's gone right to my head
|
to my head
|
|
I woke up on the floor
|
Still in my suit and she told me I snored
|
I never felt so cheap
|
I had a good laugh at the size of her feet
|
|
Holy Moses, I don't like this single living
|
I think I'll find me a nice local girl and
|
settle on down, now
|
With a home and a garden
|
and a nature quite forgiving
|
Then again maybe I'll just hang around
|
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed, right now
|
Who's gonna take me home
|
This party's gone right to my head
|
to my head
|
Now who's gonna take me home
|
Hey Brian could you give me a lift 'cos I don't live
|
too far from you, boy
|
Mary c'mon I've known you so long please give
|
me a lift home, oh c'mon
|
Jim oh c'mon boys would you just
|
give me a lift home
|
I don't live too far from here and I'm so tired
|
