|
Was it the champagne |
|
Was it the caviar |
|
Was it her airplane |
|
Was it her daddy's car |
|
Was it the new thing |
|
With all the dough |
|
Why i don't know |
|
I just had to go |
|
Was that the yacht club |
|
Or just a fishing boat |
|
Was that the leg of lamb |
|
Or was it a billy goat |
|
Was that a snail baby |
|
Or escargot |
|
Why i don't know |
|
I just had to go |
|
I'm just a poor boy |
|
I like to have fun |
|
I know a pretty girl when i see one |
|
I've seen the real thing |
|
The imitation too |
|
So don't go telling me what to do |
|
Was that a beer joint |
|
Or was that the country club |
|
Were we fooling around |
|
Or was it truly love |
|
Was that a foreign film |
|
Or just a show |
|
Why i don't know |
|
I just had to go |
|
I'm just a poor boy |
|
I like to have fun |
|
I know a pretty girl when i seen one |
|
I've seen the real thing |
|
The imitation too |
|
So don't go telling me what to do |
|
So keep your champagne |
|
And keep your caviar |
|
And fly your airplane |
|
Into your daddy's car |
|
And so you'll understand |
|
I'll tell you slow |
|
Why i don't know |
|
I just had to...go |
