Miss Otis Regrets - The John Wilson Orchestra, John Wilson & Sir Richard Rodney Bennett

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam. Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm. And she's sorry to be delayed, But last evening down at lover's lane She strayed, madam. Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. When she woke up and found That her dream of love was gone, madam, She ran to the man Who had lead her so far astray. And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her lover down (he should have seen it coming), madam. Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. When the mob came and got her And dragged her from the jail, madam, They strung her up On the willow across the way. And the moment before she died She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam. Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch. Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

Sometimes we fight 'Bout who's wrong and right And stay up all night And sometimes we drink And say hurtful things That we don't mean Yeah, we're both screamin' But nobody's listenin' Let's take this madness Out of the kitchen Come to bed Let's just lay down There's just one way We're gonna work this out Forget what I did Forget what you said Oh, darlin' Come to bed Well, I love you You know I do And you love me too So let's just stop Remember what we've got Before it all gets lost Just take my hand It's been way too long Turn out the lights And turn each other on Come to bed Let's just lay down There's just one way We're gonna work this out Forget what I did Forget what you said Oh, darlin' (darlin') Come to bed And let's put aside our prideful feelings for tonight In the morning we'll see things in a different light Just come to bed Let's just lay down There's just one way We're gonna work it out Forget what I did Forget what you said Oh, darlin' (darlin') Come to bed
