"Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable To Lunch Today)" lyrics
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening, down in Lovers Lane she strayed
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch to day
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun
And shot her lover down, 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 upon the old 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 today
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening, down in Lovers Lane she strayed
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch to day
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun
And shot her lover down, 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 upon the old 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 today
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
