Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics - Nat King Cole

(cole porter) 

Miss otis regrets 

She's unable to lunch today. 

Madam... 

Miss otis regrets 

She's unable to lunch today. 

She is sorry to be delayed, 

But last evening down at lover's lane, she strayed. 

Madam... 

Miss otis regrets 

She's unable to lunch today.

~interlude~ 

When she woke from her dream 

And found that her love had gone, 

Madam... 

She ran to the man 

Who had led 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. 

Then the mob came and got her 

And dragged her from the jail. 

Madam... 

They strung her upon 

A willow across the way. 

Photos 

And the moment before she died, 

She lifted up her lovely head and cried. 

Madam... 

Miss otis regrets 

She's unable to lunch today.
