Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics - Some People's Lives - Bette Midler

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today 

Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today 

And she's sorry to be delayed 

But last evening down at lover's lane she strayed 

Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today 

When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone 

Madam, she ran to the man who had lead her so far astray 

And from under her velvet gown 

She drew a gun and shot her lover down 

Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today 

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail 

Madam, they strung her up on the willow across the way 

And the moment before she died 

She lifted up her lovely head and cried 

"Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch 

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today"
