America Drinks & Goes Home

Lyrics

America Drinks And Goes Home

This is a special request, hope you enjoy it

I tried to find
How my heart
Could be so blind, dear
How could I be fooled
Just like the rest
You came on strong
With your fast car
And your class ring
Soft voice and your sad eyes
I fell for the whole thing

I don't regret
Having met
Up with a girl who
Breaks hearts like they were
Nothing at all
I've done it too
Now I know
Just what it feels like...
Just like I say there's no regrets

Well, it's about time to close
I hope you've had as much fun as we have
Don't forget there's jam session Sunday
Now attention everybody
Lady xylophone too
Monday night dance contest night
The twist contest
We gonna give away peanut butter jelly & baloney sandwiches for all of ya
It really has been fun
Hope we've played your request. The songs you like to hear
Last call for alcohol. Drink it up folks
Wonderful. Nice to see you Bob, how's it going?
How's the kids? Wonderful
Nice to see ya
Yes. Bill Bailey? oh..We'll get to that tomorrow night
Yeah. Caravan with a drum solo?
Right. Yeah. we'll do that
Wonderful
Nice to see you again

Yeah

La la la

Down at The Pompadour a-go-go

Wap dah dee dah doo doo
Shoopee doo dah dah dah
La la la laah
La la la la la la la laah

Night all
