[Intro]
G7 C
[Verse 1]
C F
Oh, I've been out all night, wining, dining on a spree
C D7 G7
But as I think about it, not much dining, mostly wining
C F
And I finally'd gotten home and this is what I see
G7 C C7
A man on the wall making faces down at me
[Chorus]
F C
He'd been on my back all night and had to move when I laid down
D7 G7
But did he have to pick the chandelier wearing my wife's gown?
C F
Now, I know that she's my ex-wife 'cause I found a little note
G7 C
And the man on the wall laughs and gloats
[Guitar Solo]

G7 C
[Verse 3]
C F
Now he's flying around all over, first the left wall, then the right
C D7 G7
And as my head is reeling on the ceiling
C F
And I'm tired and, oh, so weary, he's been doing that all night
G7 C
And I wish that he was feeling like I'm feeling
[Chorus]
F C
Oops! He barely missed me that time, but there's one thing I see
D7 G7
That stranger ain't no stranger, by George, he looks like me!
C F
Well, I'm gonna fix his wagon, he won't bother me no more
G7 C
'cause I'm going on the wagon after having just one more
C
Just one more
