G
What a pair of lips -- I'd like to try 'em for size.
C
I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me?"
G
Hope she tells me "Maybe" -- what a wing it will be.
D7

Am7 G C6 Eb7 D7 G6
She said don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood."

G
Then I held her tightly -- what a dreamy romance!
C
And I said, "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three...
G
There's a mess of moonlight, won't you share it with me?"
D7
"Well," she answered, "Mister, don't cha know that it's rude
Am7 G C6 Eb7 D7 G6
