Cocktail Hour
I like to be in the cocktail time
With the cocktail rhythm and the cocktail rhyme
Pour me a gin, squeeze me a lime
Add a tonic, unironic 'cause it's so damn fine
Let me introduce a vermouthy Houdini
Call him Mr. Olive in a dry martini
Call me Duchess Satin,
Duke and me are speakin' Latin
I take three cherries in my rye Manhattan
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Potent potable arena, cocktail waitress have ya seen her?
I'm a caipirinha ballerina servin' you a soul subpoena
Despair repair is earnin' me a Croix de Guerre
Conversation elevatin', bringin' in the debonair
Absinthe bushwhacktracking back a Sazerac
Napoleon Cognac warmin' up the Cossacks
Shake a White Lady, provoke a 180
Keeping swell? I tell you well
I'm self-regulating
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Cold Cold Cold Cold
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Assez froid!
Keeping swell? I tell you well
I'm self-regulating
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
With the cocktail rhythm and the cocktail rhyme
Pour me a gin, squeeze me a lime
Add a tonic, unironic 'cause it's so damn fine
Let me introduce a vermouthy Houdini
Call him Mr. Olive in a dry martini
Call me Duchess Satin,
Duke and me are speakin' Latin
I take three cherries in my rye Manhattan
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Potent potable arena, cocktail waitress have ya seen her?
I'm a caipirinha ballerina servin' you a soul subpoena
Despair repair is earnin' me a Croix de Guerre
Conversation elevatin', bringin' in the debonair
Absinthe bushwhacktracking back a Sazerac
Napoleon Cognac warmin' up the Cossacks
Shake a White Lady, provoke a 180
Keeping swell? I tell you well
I'm self-regulating
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Gotta make sure it's cold enough
Cold Cold Cold Cold
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
Assez froid!
Keeping swell? I tell you well
I'm self-regulating
Cocktail Hour sip from a glass
Hoping that Brubeck will make it all last
Cocktail Hour slips away fast
Hoping that Jobim will make it all last
