You Temptress You

The bar-man and I are on very good terms

He never throws me a curve.

And he knows

When it's "set 'em up, Joe"

Just what I want to be served

And he doesn't mind that my view on life

Is from the bottom of the glass.

Sitting her nightly

Wrongly or rightly haunted by ghosts of lovers past.

I finish my gin and then you walk in

With your hip swingin' rhythm

Conducting your exorcism

You temptress you

Sir, may I inquire before we retire

May we please have one more-round?

I'd like to pro-pose a gentlemen's toast

To lov-ers lost and lovers found

So this is my story, no love and no glory

Staring at one more empty glass.Sitting her nightly

Wrongly or rightly haunted by ghosts of lovers past.

I finish my gin and then you walk in

With your hip swingin' rhythm

Conducting your exorcism

You temptress you
