Was I? by Eliot Everett and His Orchestra Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1932

Was I drunk?
And was he handsome?
And did my ma gimme hell?

A sweet young thing of sixteen thought that she'd step out one night
Alone to get the thrills in life she says
She met a youth, a bit uncouth
Although, he seemed alright
She'd known him but a moment when they kissed

When she got home the next day with swollen head
And her girlfriend asked "Did you have fun?"
She said:

"Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
And did my ma gimme hell?
Should I get a thrill?
And am I still a quiver?

Was he rough?
And did I care?
Am I glad now that I fell?
Evеry time I think about him do I shiver?
Was he hot?
And was I?
And would hе send for maybe?
He would not?
Did I lie?
Does he still think I'm a baby?
If I was
Am I still?
Do I care?
Don't be still
Was I drunk?
And was he handsome?
And did my ma gimme hell?
Was I drunk?
And was he handsome?
And did my ma gimme hell?
Were his hands loose as no use refusing?
Did he bite?
Do I bruise?
I'm almost ashamed to tell
I don't know yet the system he was usin'
I said 'Stop, please behave.'
What's the use of ravin'
He said 'give'
So I gave
After all what was I saving?

Am I glad?
Oh, well gee
Have I had-
You're asking me?
Was I drunk?
Was he handsome?
And did my ma gimme hell?
