Music, Maestro, Please

Music, Maestro, Please - Arthur Tracy

A table near the band

A small one

Some cigarettes a drink

Yes a tall one

And waiter I could use

A chaser for my blues

Tonight I musn't think of her

Music maestro please

Tonight tonight I must forget

How much I need her so Mister Leader

Play your lilting melodies

Ragtime jazztime swing

Any old thing to help me ease the pain

That solitude can bring

She used to like waltzes

So please don't play a waltz

She danced divinely

And I loved her so but there I go

Tonight I mustn't think of her

No more memories

Swing out tonight I must forget

Music maestro please
