My father will be pacing the floor Just listen to that fireplace roar [Verse 4] Now really I'd better scurry Sweetheart, what's your hurry? Well, maybe just a half a drink more Why don't you put some records on while I pour? [Verse 5] The neighbors might think Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? No cabs to be had out there [Verse 6] I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight now To break this spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell [Verse 7] I ought to say 'no, no, no sir' Mind if I move in closer?
