Invitation To The Blues |
Well she’s up against the register with an apron and a spatula, |
Yesterday’s deliveries, tickets for the bachelors |
She’s a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes, |
Well, it’s just an invitation to the blues |
And you feel just like Cagney, she looks like Rita Hayworth |
At the counter of the Schwab’s drugstore |
You wonder if she might be single, she’s a loner and likes to mingle |
Got to be patient, try and pick up a clue |
She said «How you gonna like 'em, over medium or scrambled?», |
You say «Anyway's the only way», be careful not to gamble |
On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here |
It’s a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes |
This ain’t nothing but an invitation to the blues |
But you can’t take your eyes off her, get another cup of java, |
It’s just the way she pours it for you, joking with the customers |
Mercy mercy, Mr. Percy, there ain’t nothing back in Jersey |
But a broken-down jalopy of a man I left behind |
And the dream that I was chasing, and a battle with booze |
And an open invitation to the blues |
But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy-apple Caddy, |
And a bank account and everything, accustomed to the finer things |
He probably left her for a socialite, and he didn’t 'cept at night, |
And then he’s drunk and never even told her that her cared |
So they took the registration, and the car-keys and her shoes |
And left her with an invitation to the blues |
'Cause there’s a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight, good evening |
You can have my seat, I’m sticking round here for a while |
Get me a room at the Squire, the filling station’s hiring, |
And I can eat here every night, what the hell have I got to lose? |
Got a crazy sensation, go or stay? |
now I gotta choose, |
And I’ll accept your invitation to the blues |
