Was it the champagne   Was it the caviar   Was it her airplane   Was it her daddy's car   Was it the new thing   With all the dough   Why i don't know   I just had to go      Was that the yacht club   Or just a fishing boat   Was that the leg of lamb   Or was it a billy goat   Was that a snail baby   Or escargot   Why i don't know   I just had to go      I'm just a poor boy   I like to have fun   I know a pretty girl when i see one   I've seen the real thing   The imitation too   So don't go telling me what to do      Was that a beer joint   Or was that the country club   Were we fooling around   Or was it truly love   Was that a foreign film   Or just a show   Why i don't know   I just had to go      I'm just a poor boy   I like to have fun   I know a pretty girl when i seen one   I've seen the real thing   The imitation too   So don't go telling me what to do      So keep your champagne   And keep your caviar   And fly your airplane   Into your daddy's car   And so you'll understand   I'll tell you slow   Why i don't know   I just had to...go
