Lyrics Cocktails for Two - Betty Carter

Cocktails for Two

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.
