I ought to say no, no, no, sir
 F         F/C     D/F#
(Mind if I move in closer?)

At least I\'m gonna say that I tried

The answer is no
 Dm         Dm/G

My sister will be suspicious
 F               F/C
(Gosh, your lips look delicious)

My brother will be there at the door
 G

My maiden aunt\'s mind is vicious

    Dm
But maybe just a half a drink more

     C          C/G
I\'ve got to get home
                  C          C/G
(But baby, you\'ll freeze out there)
     Dm           Dm/G
Say, lend me your coat
                 Dm        Dm/G
(It\'s up to your knees out there)

       C           C/G
You\'ve really been grand
                   C
(I thrill when you touch my hand)

But don\'t you see

There\'s bound to be talk tomorrow
 F           F/C
(Think of my life long sorrow)
   D/F#                D
At least there will be plenty implied

I really can\'t stay

Oh, but it\'s cold out - side
