Dinner At the Ritz - City Boy

Do you think that we could risk an evening at the Ritz!

Another shabby hotel room would really blitz my ego

Why must we meet like this!

Sharing illicit kisses

You turn a blind eye to the fact that your leaving my heart in pieces

I know a little cafe noir where we can sit and count the stars

We can stay till the early hours, supposing of course they allow us

And when they play «As Time Goes By» memories seem to hide here

And while the world is deep in slumber we’ll dance the the eternal rumba

Won’t you come away with me

Leave it all behind

There’s a happy ending somewhere

Between the lines…

What more can you ask of me, yet another Penthouse suite!

Going through my dimes and quarters, slipping away like water

So through her expensive tastes your pockets have gone to waste

And I can tell by the way you lie there you’re only a paper tiger

No more early mornings as I gaze in Your eyes

No more hidden kisses and sleepy lullabies…

I’m constantly aware of the things we can never share

At the stork club some chic little pub that I could never afford…

But I wish that I could bare your ultra feminine flair

For your accent on current events over dinner drives me spare…

Dinner at the Ritz, I’d be pleased to make an appointment

I’ll be at your door an hour before we arranged
