Lonnie Johnson - You Had Too Much (1930) Lyrics

CS: I think it's a sin.
LJ: What? [spoken words]
CS: The way you've been soppin' this gin.
CS: 'Cause you've had too much.
LJ: You're crazy! [spoken words]
CS: Ah, you had too much.
CS: You will never be the same, because you've had too much.

LJ: Now look here gal, you know can't fool me.
CS: What's the matter? [spoken]
LJ: Mama you ain't what you used to be.
LJ: 'Cause you've had too much.
CS: Too much of what? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you've had too much.
CS: That's alright. [spoken]
LJ: You can never be the same, because, you've had too much.
CS: Now, let me tell you somethin'. [spoken]

CS: You know that ain't so! [spoken]
LJ: You can't be the same, because you've had too much.
CS: Now you know one time ... [spoken]

CS: I used to take em', in a row.

CS: Is that so? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you've had too much.
CS: Well I'll never change then. [spoken]
LJ: But you will never be the same, because you've had too much.

LJ: How do you know? [spoken]
CS: Child, you'll never be the same, because you've had too much.

LJ: Now mama, you know you used to could strut your stuff real swell.

CS: How do you know? [spoken]
LJ: Ah, you had too much.
CS: Will you listen to this? [spoken]
LJ: You will never be the same, because you've had too much.
CS: Let me get you, Tom. [spoken]

CS: You used to be a man that had everything.
CS: But the last thing you had 's sinkin' down the old hot spring.

LJ: No, I never! [spoken]
CS: Oh, yes you did, child, you had too much.
LJ: Well, what of it? [spoken]
CS: Yes, in deed! [spoken]
CS/LJ: And you'll never be the same, because you've had too much.
