Lyrics:

(Lyle Lovett) Was it the champagne Was it the caviar Was it her airplane Was it her daddy's car Was it the new thing With all the dough Why I don't know I just had to go Was that the yacht club Or just a fishing boat Was that the leg of lamb Or was it a billy goat Was that a snail baby Or escargot Why I don't know I just had to go I'm just a poor boy I like to have fun I know a pretty girl when I see one I've seen the real thing The imitation too So don't go telling me what to do Was that a beer joint Or was that the country club Were we fooling around Or was it truly love Was that a foreign film Or just a show Why I don't know I just had to go I'm just a poor boy I like to have fun I know a pretty girl when I seen one I've seen the real thing The imitation too So don't go telling me what to do So keep your champagne And keep your caviar And fly your airplane Into your daddy's car And so you'll understand I'll tell you slow Why I don't know I just had to...go
