Just A Quiet Evening 1937

Going out to parties
is only making us blasé
and bored,
and if we were smarties
we'd overlook the fuss
we can't afford
and thank The Lord.

For just a quiet evening
no celebration,
Just conversation
alone with you,
I'm the type,
who smokes a pipe
with charm and finesse,
you can cook
or read a book
or mend an old dress,
Just a quiet evening
no band with trumpets
just tea with crumpets
that's what we'll do,
I can't tell you how much
I've been looking forward to
just a quiet evening
alone with you.

Just a quiet evening
no celebration,
Just conversation
alone with you,
I'm the type,
who smokes a pipe
with charm and finesse,
you can cook
or read a book
or mend an old dress,
Just a quiet evening
no band with trumpets
just tea with crumpets
that's what we'll do,
I can't tell you how much
I've been looking forward to
just a quiet evening
alone with you.
