It’s a quarter to nine
And I’ve just finished - a bottle of wine.
Didn’t know how much I was hurting
Seems-- there’s no more fun
I should buy -another one
And then I might forget your fllirting.

Sometimes you’d act like a tramp
And wouldn’t know who you’d been doing
But that’s not the same as a vamp
When you and me were billing and cooing
And you’d say let’s turn on the lamp
and ourselves with the viewing

Now it’s one thirty-one
Just noticed another - bottle is done
Oh boy this is trou-ou-ble
I don’t even feel drunk
But sure in a funk,
‘Cuz I’m sure seeing dou-ou-ble

Bet you’re with someone new
Too many others have flo-own the coop
Your reputation’s expanding
The talk of the town
The gossip goes round
And there’s not a good man left standing


Ch)
Sometimes you’d act like a tramp
And wouldn’t know who you’d been doing
But that’s not the same as a vamp
When you and me were billing and cooing
I’ll declare you the champ
And just leave you stewing

TAG)
Yeah I’ll declare you the champ
And just leave you stewing!
