CS: I think it's a sin.
LJ: What? [spoken words]
CS: The way you've been soppin' this gin.
CS: 'Cause you've had too much.
LJ: You're crazy! [spoken words]
CS: Ah, you had too much.
CS: You will never be the same, because you've had too much.
LJ: Now look here gal, you know can't fool me.
CS: What's the matter? [spoken]
LJ: Mama you ain't what you used to be.
LJ: 'Cause you've had too much.
CS: Too much of what? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you've had too much.
CS: That's alright. [spoken]
LJ: You can never be the same, because, you've had too much.
CS: Now, let me tell you somethin'. [spoken]
CS: You used to be the best man in town, now you just can hardly move around.
CS: Because you've had too much.
LJ: I ain't had enough yet baby! [spoken]
CS: Ah, yes you've had too much.
LJ: You can't stop that. [spoken]
CS: You will never be the same, because you've had too much.
LJ: Now, listen, mama. [spoken]
LJ: You can try all your might.
LJ: But there's nothing you can do, you can't look right.
LJ: 'Cause you've had too much.
CS: You don't know that! [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you've had too much.
CS: You know that ain't so! [spoken]
LJ: You can't be the same, because you've had too much.
CS: Now you know one time , [spoken]
CS: I used to take em', in a row.
LJ: But you lost your pep, mama, ten long years ago.
LJ: 'Cause you've had too much.
CS: Is that so? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you've had too much.
CS: Well I'll never change then. [spoken]
LJ: But you will never be the same, because you've had too much.
CS: Oohwee! [spoken]
CS: From your feet up to your neck,
CS: Look like you've been in a terrible wreck.
CS: Because you've had too much.
LJ: That's just a lie! [spoken]
CS: Oh, yes, you've had too much.
LJ: How do you know? [spoken]
CS: Child, you'll never be the same, because you've had too much.
LJ: Now mama, you know you used to could strut your stuff real swell.
LJ: But seems like here lately you don't do so well.
LJ: 'Cause you've had too much.
CS: How do you know? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you had too much.
CS: Will you listen to this? [spoken]
LJ: You will never be the same, because you've had too much.
CS: Let me get you, Tom. [spoken]
CS: You used to be a man that had everything.
CS: But the last thing you had 's sinkin' down the old hot spring.
CS: Because you had too much.
LJ: No, I never! [spoken]
CS: Oh, yes you did, child, you had too much.
LJ: Well, what of it? [spoken]
CS: Yes, in deed! [spoken]
CS/LJ: And you'll never be the same, because you've had too much.
