Mondo Sinistro - Al Stewart

Take my troubles on a Friday night

To the heart of the bistro

Among the shadows and the low low lights

I can find a release-o

My favorite waitress will be here tonight

I love the way she wears those fish-net tights

She’s so hard to resist-o

In this Mondo Sinistro

She picks a menu up and throws it my way

With a flick of her wrist-o

I’m sitting hoping that the night might take

A romantic twist-o

I order chicken and a chilled chablis

She brings me grapefruit and a cup of tea

She’s a little Mephisto

In this Mondo Sinistro

I say I really love her dark brown eyes

And the way that they tease-o

I tell her everytime she passes by

I grow weak in the knees-o

I ask her would she like to come and play

She blows my candle out and walks away

I just cease to exist-o

In this Mondo Sinistro
