Cole Porter Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics

Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's
unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down
in Lover's Lane she strayed.
Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to
lunch today.

When she woke up and found, that her dream of love was
gone.
Madam.
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray.
And
from under a velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover
down,
Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When
the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail,
Madam,
They
strung her from the old willow cross the way.
And the moment before she
died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried,
Madam.
Miss Otis
regrets she's unable to lunch today.

Miss Otis regrets... she's unable
to lunch today.
