Lyrics
- Didn’t we have a lovely evening?
Our party was a great success
Oh, didn’t Missus Smith look stunning?
Did you notice Missus Jones’ new dress?
What did Mister Brown say to Uncle Benny?
Just one of those things
He had a few too many
Sure was a hungry crowd
They didn’t leave a scrap for Rover
We ought to feel real proud
And mighty glad the darn thing’s over
Refrain
No more company to feed
No more papers left to read
What’s to do about it?
Let’s put out the lights and go to sleep
No more anything to drink
Leave those dishes in the sink
What’s to do about it?
Simply nighty night and so to sleep
You’re waiting for me to say
“I love you more and more and more, dear
You’re looking younger ev’ry day
You never were so sweet before, dear”
No more money in the bank
No cute baby we can spank
What’s to do about it?
Let’s put out the lights and go to sleep
- Didn’t they make an awful mess tho’?
There’s been a lot of damage done
Oh, can’t we laugh it off? I guess so
This is what you call expensive fun
All those little rings made by naughty glasses
Those cigarette burns, remains of demitasses
Now, honey, please don’t weep
It’s simply that you’re weak from laughter
We better get some sleep
So we can face the morning after
