Second-greatest frat-rocker ever (do I need to tell you what's #1?);
according to Dave Marsh, it sounds like it was 'recorded live at Animal
House'.  Originally done in the late 50's by Dick Holler and the Holidays,
and covered in 1966 by both the K-Otics and the Swingin' Medallions, the
latter of whom took it all the way to #17 that summer.  And as for Holler
himself, he went on to write 'Abraham, Martin, and John' - which goes to
show you never can tell.  --AWR

Verse 1:

        Ab                        Fm
        Woke up this morning, my head was so bad
             Db                    Eb
        The worst hangover that I ever had
        Ab               Fm
        What happened to me last night
              Db                Eb
        That girl of mine, she loved me so right (yeah!) (oh, oh)
             Ab                       Fm
        She loved me so long and she loved me so hard
           Db                   Eb
        I finally passed out in her front yard (whoo!)
        Ab                    Fm
        It wasn't wine that I had too much of
                 Db        Eb          Ab          Eb7
        It was a    double shot of my baby's love

Chorus:

        Ab                 Fm                     Ab
        Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
        (Ab)               Fm                      Ab
        Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
        (Ab)            Fm
        A potion that I had too much of
                 Db         Eb        Ab           Eb
        It was a    double shot of my baby's love

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

        It was such a thrill it was hurtin' me (ooh!)
        I was sufferin' in ecstasy
        A sip of her love and I was walkin' one a cloud
        One night a week is-a plenty enough
        It's a good thing for me they don't bottle that stuff [pop!]
        Well, my heart begins to fly like a dove
        When I take a double shot of my baby's love

[repeat chorus]

Coda [repeat to fade over trash organ riff from intro]:

        Ab                Fm
        Double shot of my baby's love, yeah yeah, yeah
