Cocktails For Two

Oh, what delight to
Be given the right to
Be carefree and gay once again
No longer slinking
Respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men

No longer need we miss
A charming scene like this
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 chansonette
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
Most any afternoon at five

Monday to Sunday at five

We'll be so glad we're both alive

We'll be so glad we're alive

Then maybe fortune will complete her plan

Complete her plan
That all began with cocktails for two
