My father will be pacing the floor 
                                     Listen to that fireplace roar. 
   Dm

                                Beautiful please don't hurry  
Gm7                               C7
 Well maybe just a half a drink more.  
                                                     Put some records on while I pour.

The neighbours might think. 
                                       But baby it's bad out there out there. 
    Gm7            C7     Gm7 C7
Say what's in this drink. 
                               No cabs to be had out there. 
  F           Fmaj7
I wish I knew how 
                       Your eyes are like starlight now. 
   F          F7
To break this spell 
                       I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell. 
  Bb
I ought to say no, no, no sir. 
                                   Mind if I move in closer? 
    G7                        C7
At least I'm gonna say that I tried. 
                                               What's the sense in hurting my pride. 
  F           Eb7   D7
