Grazie, Prego, Scusi

R. Kübert

At the Matinée
On Thursday
Smooth Dancing
At the Blue Garden
With the Serenade Orchestra.
They dim the lights
The voices go quiet
And in the dark, you hear whispers:

Please:
Do you want to dance with me?...
Thanks,
I'd rather not:
I don't dance the tango with a hat
So...
Thanks.
Please, thanks, sorry...
I'll be back

At the Matinée
At the Blue Garden
Ribbons and prizes
And cotillions,
Gold sash for the Miss.
They dim the lights
The voices go quiet
And in the dark, you hear whispers...

I don't dance the tango with a hat
So...
Thanks.
Please, thanks, sorry...
I'll be back!...
