Manhattan Transfer - GROOVIN' lyrics

Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow

No clock beside my bed

Don't try to wake me

No phone upon my wall

Who's going to call

No knock upon my door

No news to shake me

Nights like the one before

I can't take no more

Beaujolais goes straight to my head

Beaujolais puts me to shame

And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came

Beaujolais and I go crazy

Beaujolais I can't explain

But it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain

One race that I can't win

With an alter ego

One chance to sink or swim

What am I to do

One tail that I can't shake

Wherever I go he go

One circuit I can't break

It's a catch twenty two

Beaujolais goes straight to my head

Beaujolais the one to blame

And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came

Beaujolais will be my ruin

Beaujolais I can't complain

Cause it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain
