She was sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water

And I knew, yes I knew, I should leave, then I heard her say - ay - ay

strong

Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is
solong__________

So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so in-viting
C F C *
And I just couldn't resist, a-just a-one little kiss so ex-citing
F * * *
Then I heard the guitar player say: Va-moose , Jose's on his way
G * C FG
And I knew , yes I knew, I should run, but then I heard her say - ay

Then the music stopped, when I looked, the cafe was empty
C F C *
And I heard Jose say: Man, you know you're in trouble plenty

So I dropped the drink from my hand, and out through the window I ran
