Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine?
Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on, let’s do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
My friend got busted just the other day
They said, “Don’t walk, don’t walk, don’t walk away”
Drove him to a taxi
Bent the boot, hit the back
Had to play some music, otherwise he’d crack
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I-?
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
Champagne for breakfast
And a Sherman in my hand
Please hope part ales never fails
Must have been a dream
I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on, let’s do it again
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like l-?
Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel like we do?
Oh! That’s true
Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel, do you feel like we do?
