I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
My hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin
I must stop going to parties, of that there is no doubt
Next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
For instance, take last Friday, when Terry came to tea
I thought I had enough to drink, but not enough for me
He said would I like to accompany him, to a place just over the hill
I said I really shouldn't, but perhaps I think I will
I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
My hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin
I must stop going to parties, of that there is no doubt
Next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
You see the same old faces, you've seen them all before
You're gonna get so wasted, you won't be able to walk out the door
Then someone comes on heavy, 'bout the war in what's-it's-name
I said, "I fink you're out of date, mate, shouldn't that be, ah, the other place"
I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
My hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin
I must stop going to parties, of that there is no doubt
Next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties and hanging about Oy!

verse 3: ( * *spoken * *)
Oh, the punch has all been drunk and the drunks have all been punched
The magistrate's irate and the doctor, er, he's out to lunch
I don't know why I came in here, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, such a weak-kneed creep
I must stop going to parties, yeah, I got to get some sleep
N.C.
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
I must stop going to parties and hanging about
