COCKTAILS FOR TW0
By Arthur Johnson & Sam Coslow
Key:C

Spike Jones & The City Slickers

1   2   3   3*  -4 -3   2   -3
In some se-clud-ed ren-dez-vous,
1    2  3    3*   -4 -3 2  3 
That o-ver-looks the av-e-nue,
-1    -2   -3   4   6
With some-one shar-ing 
-5 4   -3   4   -4
a de-light-ful chat,
-2  -3   4   -4
Of this and that,
3    -4   3     3   3
And cock-tails for two.

1  2  3  3* -4  -3 2  -3
As we en-joy a cig-a-rette,
1   2   3   3*  -4   -3   2   3
To some ex-quis-ite chan-son-ette,
-1   -2    -3  4   6  -5  4   -3
Two hands are sure to sly-ly meet 
4    -4  -2 -3 4    -4
Be-neath a ser-vi-nette,
3     -5   3     3   3
With cock-tails for two.

6   6    6   6   6  -5
My head may go reel-ing,
-5  5*   6    -5  5 -4 -5 5   5
But my heart will be o-be-di-ent,
5    -4 -5  5  -4 -3   4   -4
With in-tox-i-cat-ing kiss-es,
-4  -3   -3  3   3  -2* -3 3   3
For the prin-ci-pal in-gre-di-ent,

1     2 3 3*  -4  -3   2  -3
Most an-y af-ter-noon at five,
1     2  3   3*   -4    -3  2  3
We'll be so glad we're both a-live,
-1   -2  -3  4   6
Then may-be for-tune 
-5    4   -3    4   -4
will com-plete her plan,
-2   -3  4  -4   3    6     5    5   5
That all be-gan with cock-tails for two
