Don`t ask me why I did it,
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away.
Don`t ask me why I did it
I must have been lonely stupid or blind,
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time.
It was 3 a.m. in the casino
I was feeling like the Sportsman of the Year
So I blew a little money on the roulette wheel,
And I taught myself to play Chemin de fer
Don`t ask me why I did it,
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
There were no other amusements or games to play
To pass the night away.
Don`t ask me why I did it
I must have been lonely stupid or blind,
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the hme
As the dawn came round on Monte Carlo,
I had lost the car and safe deposit keys,
The country house in Switzerland was mine no more,
And the gendarme at the door sald c`est la vie!
Don`t ask me why I did it,
I must have been lonely stupid or blind,
But I know that it seemed like a good idea at the time.
