Miss Otis Regrets lyrics by 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 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 lead her so far astray.
And from under a 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 from the old willow cross 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.

The song is called "Miss Otis Regrets," originally performed by Ella Fitzgerald but covered by numerous other artists, such as Linda Ronstadt, Bette Midler, and Cole Porter. Whenever you have a snippet of lyrics but need to know the title/artist, Google the few words you do know followed by the word "lyrics." It works every time.
