She walked in, I tipped my hat
She said, "Boy dont you look at me like that"
And I said, "No, you know I got no game"
"Oh, but you can love me just the same"
She said "Boy, my mama told me all about boys like you"
"You talk so sweet then you leave me blue"
"Is that what you think youre about to do"
I said, "No, Im just sittin here singing a song"
"Dont want to do nobody wrong"
"Youll find out before long"
Tonights just all about having fun
Maybe Ill see you when its done
Well talk about things that are making you blue
Till theres one thing left to do
She sat down right in front of the stage
And everybody was so amazed
Put a cigarette right between her lips
Before she could light it, the sax man shot right from the hip
She said, "No, my mama told me all about boys like him"
"Walking around with that sly grin"
"All he wants is a night of sin"
Tonights just all about having fun
Maybe Ill see you when its done
Well talk about whats been making you blue
Till theres one thing left to do
And I just need some conversation
And I wont tell too many lies
I know its a sticky situation
But I think I saw that twinkle in your eyes
Tonights just all about having fun
Maybe Ill see you when its done
Well talk about whats making you blue
Till theres one thing left to do
Well we played till the police closed us down
Drank our drinks till the morning came around
She said, "Boy, everything you told me was true"
"I forgot about my blues, what are you going to do"
I said, "My mama told me all about girls like you"
"Talk a big game and then you leave me blue"
"Is that what you think youre about to do"
She said, "No, I never met a man thats quite like you"
"I think Im gonna let my mama do the worrying too"
"What you gonna do"
You know tonight was so much fun
And I hate to see its done
I forgot all my blues
Now theres one thing left to do
