Didn't we have a lovely evening?
Our party was a great success.
Oh, didn't Missus Smith look stunning?
Did you notice Missus Jones' new dress?
What did Mister Brown say to Uncle Benny?
Just one of those things,
he had a few too many;
sure was a hungry crowd,
they didn't leave a scrap for Rover,
we ought to feel real proud,
and mighty glad the darn thing's over.

No more company to feed,
no more papers left to read,
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep.
No more anything to drink,
leave those dishes in the sink,
what's to do about it?
Simply nighty night and so to sleep.
You're waiting now for me to say:
"I love you more and more and more dear,
you're looking younger ev'ry day,
you never were so sweet before, dear."
No more money in the bank,
no cute baby we can spank,
what's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights
and go to sleep.

Didn't they make an awful mess tho'?
There's been a lot of damage done,
Oh, can't we laugh it off?
I guess so.
This is what you call expensive fun.
All those little rings
made by naughty glasses,
those cigarette burns,
remains of demitasses.
Now, honey, please don't weep,
it's simply that you're weak from laughter,
we better get some sleep;
so we can face the morning after.

No more company to feed,
no more papers left to read,
What's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights and go to sleep.
No more anything to drink,
leave those dishes in the sink,
what's to do about it?
Simply nighty night and so to sleep.
You're waiting now for me to say:
"I love you more and more and more dear,
you're looking younger ev'ry day,
you never were so sweet before, dear."
No more money in the bank,
no cute baby we can spank,
what's to do about it?
Let's put out the lights
and go to sleep.
