I'll Do It All Over Again 1914

by James Pitt-Payne, London Uk - 31 Jul 2005

I am off for a trip
I have just sent my grip
on its way to the ship,
because I saw my doctor today
And he tells me I must go away
for a little while;
He just gave me a frown,
said: "You have to leave town,
for your nerves are run down,"
No fear, I'm not goin' to die!
I just dropped in to say goodbye!

So goodbye to the lights
and the glorious nights,
it's the price I am paying
for my cabareting;
and the old doctor tells me
my liver is queer,
I must rest for a year.
I have nervous prostration
from that Hesitation
but I don't regret it,
the bank roll I'll bet
that if I'm in good condition
a year from today,
why, I'll do it all over again!

So goodbye to the lights
and the glorious nights,
it's the price I am paying
for my cabareting;
and the old doctor tells me
my liver is queer,
I must rest for a year.
I have nervous prostration
from that Hesitation
but I don't regret it,
the bank roll I'll bet
that if I'm in good condition
a year from today,
why, I'll do it all over again!

I've turned night into day,
I have seen ev'ry play,
been in ev'ry café,
and ev'rything just seemed to be right,
So my life has been
one big Arabian Night, you see,
No more tangoes for me,
no more four o'clock tea,
me for over the sea
where I can eat with my knife
Oh! it's me for the simple life!

So goodbye to the lights
and the glorious nights,
it's the price I am paying
for my cabareting;
and the old doctor tells me
my liver is queer,
I must rest for a year.
I have nervous prostration
from that Hesitation
but I don't regret it,
the bank roll I'll bet
that if I'm in good condition
a year from today,
why, I'll do it all over again!

So goodbye to the lights
and the glorious nights,
it's the price I am paying
for my cabareting;
and the old doctor tells me
my liver is queer,
I must rest for a year.
I have nervous prostration
from that Hesitation
but I don't regret it,
the bank roll I'll bet
that if I'm in good condition
a year from today,
why, I'll do it all over again!
