I received an invitation to her party.
She sent her love and said,
dress formally.
Please be ready and waiting at seven.
And she would send her chauffeur
over after me.
So I had to rent a tux and
paint carnations,
and I showed up acting socially,
but she said
But she hadn't sent me an invitation
And everybody had a laugh on me
So I said, home, James, home, James
Drive me as fast as you can
Home, James, home, James,
you picked up the wrong man
Riding home
I felt so disappointed
I was all dressed up to have
myself a time
They laughed and joked and cried,
oh how funny
When they found her lover's name
was just like mine
So I said, home James, home James
Drive me as fast as you can
Oh James,
Oh James, you picked up the wrong man
Oh James,
Oh James, drive me as fast as you can
Oh James,
Oh James, you picked up
the wrong man you
