Song lyrics to Did I Get Stinkin’ At the Savoy, sung by Virginia O’Brien in Panama Hattie, music by Walter Donaldson, lyrics E.Y. Harburg
It was just a birthday party
Out to have some innocent fun
And when I wasn’t lookin’ it slipped up on me
And now the damage is done. Oh …
Did I get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy
Did I get thinkin’ I was Myrna Loy
Did I get minglin’ with the hoi polloi
Boy did I get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy.
Did I get clubbin’ with the guy with Jack
He wound up givin’ me a piggy back
He had me swingin’ on the chandelier
Boy did I get tighter than a mouse’s ear.
Edie was a lady
A lady was right
I thought I was a lady
Until last night. But …
Did I get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy
Did I get sailing with the ship ahoy
And going home I met a sweet convoy
Did I get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy.
Oho, oho, oh ho ho ho
I really wasn’t thinkin’
When I started into drinkin’
And I wound up gettin’ stinkin’ at the Club Savoy.
Oho, oho, oh ho ho ho
You really would’ve died
When I started gettin’ fried
And I wound up gettin’ pied at the Club Savoy.
Started out with scotches
Then switched to rye
Then a little bitty, bitty zombie
My, oh my, oh my!
Today my head is floatin’ in a fog
It really shouldn’t happen to a dog
Today my life is not a thing of joy
Boy! Did I get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy!
Did I really get stinkin’
Did I really get stinkin’ at the Club Savoy!
