Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello, open the door up
Guess who's gonna ring your chimes
That's right, give me a big hug
You know I'll treat you right
Oh girl, make it a quick one
I'm only here tonight
I'm no sadder-but-wiser
I'm still the same old guy
[Verse 2]
Take a look at me
See, I couldn't look no better
Girl, I'm at my peak
And that's a fact, that's a fact
Take a part of me
You know it couldn't feel no better
Take it all with ease
Before you break your back or get a heart attack
[Verse 3]
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a (Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a
[Verse 4]
Goodbye, sorry I can't stay
But I don't have much time
I've got a dozen or more babes
To see before I fly
Hot stuff beggin' to see me
Why should they be deprived?
Come on, give me your blessing
You're still the first in line
[Verse 5]
Take a look at me
See, I couldn't look no better
Girl, I'm at my peak
And that's a fact, that's a fact
Take a part of me
You know it couldn't feel no better
Make sure that you breathe
Before you break your back or get a heart attack
[Verse 6]
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a (Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby, baby
Such a, such a
[Verse 7]
That's right, I got a lady
In every foreign port
Somewhere I even got me
A stranger by the shore
I know I'm goin' crazy
'Cause I want more and more
Sometimes I don't remember
Just who I'm looking for
[Verse 8]
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby, baby
(Wonderful)
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Such a, such a, such a wonderful thing
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Okay, alright
[Verse 9]
Let's just, let's just start with the A's
I just want you to show you something
Just start with the A's, alright?
Now
[Verse 10]
Aida, right?
Anna, right?
Anita, Anita too
Abby, you remember Abby
Abby, there's Abby, Abby Long
Abby Long, I'm goin' up on, uh
Southern Boulevard
Yeah, you remember Abby
You know, right
And there was Amanda, Amanda Blue
Amanda Blue
Hi, Amanda Blue
How many is that?
I ain't countin'
There's more, there's more
There was, uh, Sophie
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Who is Sophie?
Thought you talkin' 'bout the A's?
[Verse 11]
I'm a wonderful thing, baby
Hold it, hold it
