Miss Otis Regrets 1934 'Hi Diddle Diddle' Cole Porter

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Jun 2003

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane
she strayed,
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When she woke up and found
that her dream of love was gone,
Madam,
She ran to the man
who had led her so far astray,
and from under her velvet gown
she drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam,
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When the mob came and got her
and dragged her from the jail,
Madam,
They strung her upon
the old willow across the way,
and the moment before she died
she lifted up her lovely head and cried
Madam,
"Miss Otis regrets
she's unable to lunch today."
