Cocktails for Two - Betty Carter

In some secluded rendez-vous

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 slily meet

beneath the serviette with cocktais for two

My head will go reeling

but my heart will be obedient

with intoxicating kisses

for the principal ingredient

Most any afternoon at 5

we’ll be so glad we’re both alive

then maybe fortune will complete our plan

that all began with cocktails for two.
