Dere's a Cafe On De Corner

Dere's a Cafe on De Corner - Georges Bizet (比才)/Oscar Hammerstein

Dere's a cafe on de corner run by my frien' Billy Pastor

A spot where a man takes a lady when he wants to move faster

Guess I'll go an' say hello to Pastor

How kin a lady drink alone

How kin a lady dance alone

No lady kin romance alone

I oughta have a sweetie pie

De one I had I give de air to

I threw his toothbrush out de door

Now dat I'm free my heart is sighin'

I'm off de hook an' lookin' for more

Dozens o' fellers telephone me

All axin' me to make a date

I'm holdin' out for sumpin' special

But I don' know how long I'll wait

Where will I wind up

Who'll I be true to

Ain' made my mind up

Waitin' for you to

Whatcher say brudder

Whatcher say boy

Ain' it time dat we got away

10 o'clock sharp

On the corner

See that you're

Right in there pitchin'

'Cause i ain't

De kind of a mare

Dat'll stand

Without hitchin'

Now you got your little filly

At the startin' gate

Got a little filly

Who is rarin' to go
