|
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
|
|
