Cocktails For Two 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Sep 2002

Oh, what delight to be given the right
to be carefree and gay once again.
No longer slinking,
respectably drinking
like civilised ladies and men.
No longer we miss
a charming scene like this.
In some secluded rendezvous,
that overlooks the avenue,
with someone sharing a delightful chat,
of this and that and cocktails for two.
As we enjoy a cigarette,
to some exquisite chansonette,
two hands are sure to slyly meet
beneath a serviette,
with cocktails for two.
My head may go reeling,
but my heart will be obedient,
with intoxicating kisses,
For the principal ingredient.
Most any afternoon, at five,
we'll be so glad we're both alive.
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan,
That all began with cocktails for two.
In some secluded rendezvous,

For the principal ingredient.
Most any afternoon, at five,
we'll be so glad we're both alive.

That all began with cocktails for two.
