Music, Maestro Please - 1938 - Flanagan and Allen

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 Sept 2001

A table near the band,
a small one
some cigarettes, a drink,
Yes a tall one,
and waiter, I could use
a chaser for my blues.

Tonight I mustn't think of her
Music, Maestro, please!
Tonight, tonight I must
forget how much I need her,
so Mister Leader
play your lifting melodies,
Ragtime, Jazztime, Swing,
any old thing,
to help me ease the pain,
that solitude can bring.
She used to like waltzes,
so please don't play a waltz.
She danced divinely
and I loved her so,
but there I go.
Tonight I mustn't think of her,
no more memories,
Swing out, tonight I must forget,
Music, Maestro, please!

Tonight I mustn't think of him
Music, Maestro, please!
Tonight, tonight I must
forget those precious hours,
but no hearts and flowers,
play your lifting melodies,
Ragtime, Jazztime, Swing,
any old thing,
to help me ease the pain,
that solitude can bring.
He used to like waltzes,
so please don't play a waltz.
He danced divinely
and I loved him so,
but there I go.
Tonight I mustn't think of him,
no more memories,
So play! Tonight I must forget,
Music, Maestro, please!
