I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did

I sure had a wonderful time last night
Really blew my lid

Went to a party, I recollect that much
But after four or five, you know I lost my touch
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did

I had a whale of good time last night
Really got myself some kicks
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Took me right back to the sticks

Between that hillbilly band and old Uncle Zeke
And that new atomic beverage that they called "Sneaky Pete"

I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did

Sure had a wonderful time last night
Don't know how I got to bed

Sure had a wonderful time last night
Come here, feel this lump on my head

They say I got kinda noisy
And started to shout
Four big bouncers grabbed me
But I threw them out
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did

Sure had a wonderful time last night
Really had myself some fun

Sure had a wonderful time last night
Didn't get home until about half past one

You know I'd like to take you with me the next time I go
But where the heck was it?
Sure would like to know
But I sure had a wonderful time last night
