I Got Knee-Walkin' Drunk (And She Ran Out On Me) (074)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

I got knee-walkin' drunk,
And she ran out on me.

We went out to dinner
With another couple.
It was a real nice night
'Til I caused some trouble.

Bombay gin martinis
Before we were seated.
Glasses of wine with dinner
Too oft repeated.

Then we moved on over
To the piano bar.
Several cognacs and
A Cohiba cigar.

They clapped when I sang
'It's A Long Way To Tipperary',
And that's when I began
To feel a bit dizzy.

They told me I stumbled
And fell down to my knees.
Knee-walkin' drunk again,
Despite her constant pleas.

Someone called me a cab
And served me some coffee.
I was knee-walkin' drunk,
And she ran out on me.

She didn't return home;
I waited up 'til three.
I got knee-walkin' drunk,
And she ran out on me.

Oh yeah! Lemme tell ya'!

I got knee-walkin' drunk,
And she ran out on me.
