I've had a glass of Ginger Wine" (Bert Lee)

I don't like to tell you what happened today
I feel half ashamed of myself by the way
I'm all of a tingle from fingers to toes
I do hope that tingle won't rise to my nose
Though what I've been up to I'd never confess
But I am sort of frightened that someone might guess
So if you just promise you won't say a word
I will tell you the wonderful thing that's occurred

I've had a glass of gin gin
A glass is all I've had
I've not taken before today
I've also been drinking my sorrows away
I haven't been home for bye bye's
And I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine

I can't find a fiver since I've had that brew
I do hope it lasts for an hour or two
It made me so reckless I feel like a push
I've just crossed the road right in front of a bus
The girls look and murmur my word he's a brick
I tried to wink once but my eye wouldn't blink
I promised my pickup I'd only stop nine
I've stopped five or six times
But I'll I've only stopped twice

I've had a glass of gin gin
A glass is all I've had
I've not taken before today
I've also been drinking my sorrows away
I haven't been home for bye bye's
I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine

I've had a glass of gin gin
Oh its a lovely taste
Makes you feel all goosey
I've not taken before today
I've also been drinking my sorrows away
I haven't been home for bye bye's
I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine

I've had a glass of Ginger Wine (Bert Lee)

I don't like to tell you what happened today
I feel half ashamed of myself by the way
I'm all of a tingle from fingers to toes
I do hope the tingle won't rise to my nose
Though what I've been up to I'd never confess
But I'm sort of frightened that someone might guess
So if you just promise you won't say a word
I'll tell you the wonderful thing that's occurred

I've had a glass of gin gin
A glass is all I've had
I've not tasted before today
I've often been tempted but turned away
I haven't been home to bye byes
And I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine

I can't quite describe the sensation to you
I do hope it lasts for an hour or two
It made me so reckless I feel rather push
I've just crossed the road right in front of a bus
The girls look and murmur “My word he's a brick!”
I tried to wink once but my eye wouldn't blink
I promised my pickupI'll own it's not nice
I've hit five or six times
And stopped once or twice

I've not tasted before today
I've often been tempted but turned away
I haven't been home to bye byes
And I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine

I've had a glass of gin gin
Oh it's a lovely taste
Makes you feel all goosey
I've often been tempted but turned away
I haven't been home to bye byes
And I shan't go home till nine
Cos I've had a glass of gin-gin
A glass of ginger wine
