     Well, excuse      me, but I      think you've got my
                                                       
chair.     No, that   one's not taken; I don't mind if you sit here.
                                  
I'll be glad to share.  Yeah, it's u  -  sually packed here
               
on Friday nights.

                                  
Oh, if you   don't mind, could I talk   you out of a light.
                                       
Well, thank       you, could I     drink you a buy?
                                                     
Oh, listen to me.  What I mean   is can I buy you a drink?
                                                   
Anything you please.      Oh, you're wel   -   come.  Well, I
                              
don't think I caught your name.
                                              /
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?  Well,   that
                          
makes two of us;   glad you came.


                                     
No, I don't   know the name of the band,   but they're good
                                                   
aren't they?  Would you like to dance?  Yeah, I like  the song too,
                             
it reminds   me of you and me, baby.  Do you think there's a chance
                    
that  later on I could  drive you home?
                    
No, I don't mind  at all.

                                       /   
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth, that wasn't
                                
my chair after all

                                      /    
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth, that wasn't
                                
my chair after all.
