Mondo Sinistro Lyrics - 24 Carrots - Al Stewart

I take my troubles on a Friday night 

To the heart of the bistro 

Among the shadows and the low low lights 

I can find a release-o 

My favorite waitress will be here tonight 

I love the way she wears those fish-net tights 

She's so hard to resist-o 

in this Mondo Sinistro 

She picks a menu up and throws it my way 

With a flick of her wrist-o 

I'm sitting hoping that the night might take 

A romantic twist-o 

I order chicken and a chilled chablis 

She brings me grapefruit and a cup of tea 

She's a little Mephisto 

In this Mondo Sinistro 

I say I really love her dark brown eyes 

And the way that they tease-o 

I tell her everytime she passes by 

I grow weak in the knees-o 

I ask her would she like to come and play 

She blows my candle out and walks away 

I just cease to exist-o 

In this Mondo Sinistro
