E7This might be my last party, Might be my last night
So come on pretty baby, Let's do it right

Hey E7let's throw a party, Way into the night
I wanna play the blues til' the morning light
A7One thing I know baby, The brass ring's coming aroundE7  
Let's grab it G7one more time, A7Before the ship goes E7down
[Bridge]
A7There's no tomorrow, We E7all know that
A7So grab your coat, Put E7on your hat

DCome on baby, Fill my B7+9loving cup

E7If somebody told you this was your last night
Wouldn't you want somebody to treat you right
