Hey my friend I think it’s a sin
What?
The way you’ve been soppin’ up this gin
Cause you’ve had too much
You’re crazy!
Ah, you had too much
You will never be the same, because you’ve had too much.
Now look here women, you know you can’t fool me
What’s the matter?
Mama you ain’t what you used to be.
Cause you’ve had too much
Too much of what?
Ah, you’ve had too much
That’s alright.
You will never be the same, because, you’ve had too much
Now, let me tell you somethin’
You used to be the best man in town, now you just can hardly move around.
Because you’ve had too much.
I ain’t had enough yet baby!
Ah, yes you’ve had too much.
You can’t stop that
You will never be the same, because you’ve had too much.
Now, listen, mama
You can try all your might
But there’s nothing you can do, you can’t look right
Cause you’ve had too much.
You don’t know that!
Ah, you’ve had too much
You know that ain’t so!
You can’t be the same, because you’ve had too much
Now you know one time
There was a time I could them all in a row.
But you lost your pep, mama, ten long years ago.
Cause you’ve had too much.
Is that so?
Ah, you’ve had too much.
Well I’ll never change then. [spoken]
But you will never be the same, because you’ve had too much.
From your feet up to your neck,
Look like you’ve been in a terrible wreck.
Because you’ve had too much.
That’s just a lie!
Oh, yes, you’ve had too much.
How would you know?
Child, you’ll never be the same, because you’ve had too much
You used to be a man that had everything.
But the last thing you had ‘s sinkin’ down the drain
Because you had too much.
No, I never!
Oh, yes you did, child, you had too much.
You know what I think?
And you’ll never be the same, because you’ve had too much
