Well now so you're having a party
I'm to give a hand!
Though you sound sincere and hearty
I know where I stand

When the neighbours see me
Tongues will start to wag
You are fancy - free
And
Your reputation's bad

All your pals are types who always look
For new exciting fun
Ride on life's carousel
At top speed and who can tell
Where they're heading

You know how to welcome people after
All is said and done
"Come right in, glad you're here,
Whisky, gin, brandy and beer?
Help yourselves everyone!"

Gossip seems to reach me from afar
Who's divorced now got a brand new car

Alcohol causes elation
Voices betray animation,
Eyes glow with exhilaration

I know what'll happen tomorrow
When you count the bill
O.K. - you can borrow
Guess I'll be here still

But you think of trouble
Let us have a good time first - yeah!
Life's a bubble
But
A bubble has to burst!

Candle flames are growing dim now night
And daybreak soon will blend
Everyone's going home
Shall I stay? Leave you alone?
Things are hazy

Just how many times have I played
Hostess to a crowd of friends
Handed round food and drinks
Knowing well everyone thinks
I'm crazy

Alcohol causes elation
Voices betray animation
Eyes glow with exhilaration
Everyone seeks dissipation

Alcohol causes elation
Voices betray animation
Eyes glow with exhilaration
Everyone seeks dissipation …
