Lyrics
- Baby, baby shame on you!
I got somethin’ to blame on you.
You make a date and then you break it;
Don’t even mean to keep it when you make it.
Baby, baby that’s not right.
For instance, take last night…
Chorus
Where were you when I phoned you last evening?
So you stepped out a moment next door?
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
So you didn’t go dancing last evening?
Maybe that was your cousin I saw.
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
So that was your cousin I saw you with?
What does that make me?
If that was your cousin
The way he was buzzin’
Wasn’t cousinly.
So ya’ had a bad headache last evening?
And you spent the night walking the floor?
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
2. Ev’ry time I say to you
“Where’ve you been and whadja do?”
Oh what a line you try to sell me.
I can’t believe a single word you tell me.
Your excuses don’t sound right.
For instance, take last night…
Chorus
So you didn’t do nothin’ last evenin’?
Never put a foot out of your door?
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
Maybe I didn’t see you last evening;
Maybe that was your double I saw.
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
So that was your cousin I saw you with?
What does that make me?
If that was your cousin
The way he was buzzin’
Wasn’t cousinly.
So you waited around for a streetcar,
And he gave you a lift to your door?
Do you know any more funny stories?
I’ve heard that one before.
