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 chansonnette
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 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 chansonnette 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 Explain Request ×
