Ella Fitzgerald — Once Too Often From Pin-Up Girl

Once too often I'll get the go-by once too often I'm gettin' mighty sick and tired Of totin' a torch for you So just be careful brother I too, can find another Remember, anything that you do I can do too Once too often You're gonna slip up once too often And then you'll have to change your tune And sing in a different key That line that you've been usin' Will cease to be amusin' It's gonna boomarang When you come looking for me Say, you're a wizard when it comes to cryin' A master in the art of "alibi-ing" Go on and do your tall and fancy lyin', baby But! You will say you're sorry Once too often You're gonna weep but I won't soften You're gonna whimper like a pup The day I catch up with you Step out, go on and show off Some night, the lid will blow off You're gonna give my heart the business Once too often!
