Pent Up in a Penthouse

Pent Up in a Penthouse - Fats Waller/Adelaide Hall

All pent up in a penthouse

The table is ready for two

Our date was for seven

It's now past eleven

Oh baby what's happened to you

All pent up in a penthouse

Cocktails all ready to shake

The dinner's untasted

The evening's been wasted

Is this your idea of a break huh

I keep phonin' your apartment

Keep on gettin' no reply;

How long must I wait

While you celebrate

With some other lucky guy

All pent up in a penthouse

By midnight if you don't arrive

I'll rush to the window

And I'll throw the table

The dinner the cocktails the orchids

And maybe myself

Right down to the sidewalk and turn left

On Riverside Drive

Send me on out there

Yes yes

Send me on out there

Oh get it straight get it straight

Oh my

That's your phone ringing baby

That's a light tinkle

Yes

On Riverside Drive yeah
