Duke Ellington Cocktails For Two Lyrics

Cocktails For Two Lyrics

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
