Danny G.'s Sunday Serenade with Dino" "Drinkin' Champagne"

Hey pals, got a great tune for all you country bumpkins this week. It's off our great man's last studio album, "The Nashville Sessions", which was recorded in 1983.

The best part bout' this vid is that it's live! Love seein' Dean work his magic! Puttin' his charm on every note! Man, he really could make any song his own.

While searchin' for this vid, I came across two or three other singers' versions of the same tune and believe me pallies when I tell you...not one of them even came close to Dino's! Smooth, Cool style. Even in his later years, Dean Martin definitely knew how to entertain the masses. Enjoy!



Drinkin' Champagne

I'm drinkin' champagne, feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
Havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess

I’ll keep havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Our Dino never lost his touch -- particularly with any tune he chose to sing.

Not many entertainers can ever brag, "I never lost my touch."

Not that our Dino bragged. He did not -- and that was another of his many charms.
