Miss Otis Regrets(She's Unable To Lunch Today) - Ella Fitzgerald

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 in 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 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

When the mob came and got her

And dragged her from the jail Madam

They strung her upon the old 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 today

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
