There's pidgins down in Market Square
She's standing in her underwear
Looks down from the hotel room
Nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number and walked to the road

[REFRAIN]

JC Version || JC Setlist || Tunelist

Warning: These are jazzed up chords for the refrain!
Kevin and I proved definitively that
it doesn't work at all if the right chords are also
played simultaneously . . . luckily the Montgomery
Corner Pub crowd was forgiving, or tone deaf
or maybe a little of both that late in the evenin' :-)
