One Mint Julep (Album Version) - Louis Prima/Keely Smith

作词：R Toombs

作曲：R Toombs

One early morning as I was walking

I met a woman we started talking

I took her home to get a few nips

And all I had was a mint julep

One mint julep was the cause of it all

I don't remember just how I started

But I only know is that we should have parted

I stole a kiss and then another

I didn't mean to take it further

One mint julep was the cause of it all

The lights were burning low there in the parlor

When through the kitchen door

Up popped her father

He said I saw you when you kissed my daughter

Better wed her right now or face a slaughter

I didn't know just what I was doing

I had to marry of face ruin

A mint julep a mint julep

A mint julep a mint julep

One mint julep was the cause of it all

Now I don't want to bore you with my troubles

But from now on I'll be thinking double

I don't remember just how I started

But I know is that we should have parted

A mint julep a mint julep

A mint julep a mint julep

One mint julep

Yes one mint julep was the cause of it all
