It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time - Mike Batt

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
