Blame It On My Last Affair, Pt. 1

Blame It On My Last Affair, Pt. 1 - The Count Basie Orchestra

When I walk an' I'm called

And I don't turn like that

Should I be introduced

And I sound very flat

It isn't a grudge I bear

Why blame it on my last affair

If I pass up my plate

Though that dish is delish

If I'm handed a bone

And I don't care to wish

It isn't the bill of fare

Why just blame it on my last affair

It hurt me so and now I don't know

If I'll ever live it through

Oh there's no excuse

For this abuse

Coming from one like you

And if eyes fill with tears at each love word that's said

If I'm walkin' the park

When I should be in bed

It's not that I need the air

Why just blame it on my last affair

And I don't turn like that

And I sound very flat

It isn't a grudge I bear

Why just blame it on my last affair

Though that dish is delish

And I don't care to wish

It isn't the bill of fare

Why just blame it on my last affair

I'll blame it on my last affair
