Terrible Hostess

G D I celebrate solo a few nights off drinking D7 G By rewarding myself with a smoke in the morning D C Balancing health with the absence of wealth G A D G Steering clear of those that appear to be drowning G D I’m a terrible hostess or so mother says D7 G Cuz good manners fade when the guests overstay D C To the things on the shelf they just help themselves G A D G G7 Here it’s yours. Yours. Yours, mine and ours C Cm G Now I like a party just like everyone else E A D7 Let’s play hump the hostess. Let’s play get the guest G E But I toast a tradition I, I confess A D D7 G You leave when it’s light and I’ll clean up the mess G D But for selfish pleasures I share my few treasures D7 G Cuz it makes me feel famous when the phone is for me D C And tonight I will serve cocktails and hors d’oeuvres G A D G G7 Oh it’s funny how hard I work at my leisure C Cm G Now I like a party just like everyone else E A D7 Let’s play hump the hostess. Let’s play get the guest G E But I toast a tradition I, I confess A D D7 G You leave when it’s light and I’ll clean up the mess Thanks Miss Carolyn ;)
