Jim Stafford - Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne

xYour Bulldog Drinks Champagne:
Jim Stafford. #24 in '74.

#1.
            G
There was a lady in a window,
       D
In the room across the way.
 
From the hotel I was staying in,
      C           G 
While on my holi..day.
  G     
I couldn't help but see everything,
            D
Cause I was peeping, I confess.
 
Still, after dinner every night,
    C                 G
She had the strangest guest.

#2. 
      G       
She'd retire to her favorite chair,
    D
And sit there with a dog.
 
Fill the crystal glasses,
          C                  G
While the fire danced on the log.
        G
Well, I watched them drink their bubbly brew,
D       
til that fire grew dim.
 
Then I stuck my head out the window,
                   C             G
And said, 'WHY NOT ME INSTEAD OF HIM'!!??

CHORUS:
         C              D
Oh, your bulldog drinks champagne,
    G                 C
And I ain't one to complain.
            G                C                D
But, what a perfect waste of wine it seems to me.
    G               C              G                C
So, honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over...
          G                  Em        
Cause any woman that'd get a bulldog drunk,
      C          D       G
Would have to be good to me.

#3.***(Chords are same for all verses)***

Fourteen days and fourteen nights,
 
Not one word did I hear.
 
Her with her silk and champagne,
 
And me in my shorts with a beer.
 
She just left the curtains wide,
 
And I knew she knew I could see.
 
Her and the pug-nosed mutt,
 
Guzzling wine and teasing me. 

CHORUS: 

So I made a bolder move,
 
I went over and rang her bell.
 
I heard growling from inside,
 
And I got scared as hell.
 
Then the bulldog staggered out the door,
 
And he said, 'How do you do?'
 
But the lady bit me on the leg,
 
And I said rrrr..woof, I love you too!

CHORUS:
