Once In The Morning

I was lying and stayed on my attaless couch

I said, Doc, I've got the feeling

I've been calling a grouch

You know, my all chairs are falling

And I'm a devil being a slouch

He said he reached inside his hard hands

For a alligator pouch

And he said

Once in the morning and once at night

I'm not sure that it will help you

But you don't think it's alright

Once in the afternoon and once by twilight

Once for the morning and again round midnight

I was playing in Las Vegas

I was feeling kinda flat

When Jan the fan dancer

Came by for a chat

You know, she loosened up her A-string

And she reached outside her hat

She said, "you'll play with this

Son, I'll play with that" (yeah-eah)

Once in the morning and once at night

I'm not sure that it will help you

But you don't think it's alright

Once in the afternoon and once by twilight

Once for the morning and again round midnight

I was hanging round London

Trying to pick up a new line

When the man I did not know

He invited me a dime

He said, "we can make each other happy

You know, we're both the same kind

And I'll write some of yours

If you please take some of mine

Once in the morning and once at night

I'm not sure that it will help you

But you don't think it's alright

Once in the afternoon and once by twilight

Once for the morning and again

Once for the morning and again

Once for the morning and again
