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.
