I take the train to Saint-Louis
with three little words on my
mind, but maybe they won't
mean a thing to you, girl.
Love is the saddest tale even
with a cocktail for two ! Oh babe,
someday I'll buy you a house by
the sea, so I'm beginning to see
the light but next week I' ll be
blue again and not satisfied.
So, come to me, baby ! Do !
I guess it was a slip of the lip !
Stop the train and drop me off
in Memphis where my big band
won't take my love for granted !
Isn't love the strangest thing
if it ain't got that... swing ?
