The Lemonheads - Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics

The Lemonheads Lyrics

"Miss Otis Regrets"
(originally by Cole Porter)

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 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 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
