- Verse:
- Oh what de -light to be
giv -en the right to be care free and gay once a -gain.
- No long -er slink -ing,
re -spect -a -bly drink -ing like civ -i -lized la -dies and
men.
- No long -er need we miss
A charm -ing scene like this.
- (Interlude, no lyrics)
-
- Chorus:
- In some se -clud -ed ren
-dez -vous, That ov -er -looks the A -ve -nue,
- With some -one charm -ing
a de -light -ful chat of this and that and Cock -tails For Two.
- As we en -joy a cig -a -rette,
To some ex -qui -site chan -so -nette,
- Two hands are sure to sly
-ly meet, Be -neath a ser -vi -ette with Cock -tails For Two.
- My head may go reel -ing,
But my heart will be o -be -dient,
- With in -tox -i -cat -ing
kiss -es For the prin -ci -pal in -gre -dient.
- Most an -y af -ter -noon
at five, We'll be so glad we're both a -live.
- Then may -be for -tune will
com -plete her plan, That all be -gan with Cock -tails For Two.
