Cafe Manhattan Party Lyrics

Harry, can you meet me outside? (Mm-mm, no)
What you mean, Har, no? Come on
You ain't gonna get anything from me, I mean, not right under his nose
I wanna keep mine in one piece
I know you
I know you ain't scared of Louis, now come on

Billie, go home
Go home
Ah
I can't let them know them goddamn soap bastards got to me
Don't do that to me, buddy

You think I'm crazy enough to carry in the city?
Come on, pal
Now, Billie, go home
You know you can't fight it when you're
Hooked, and you are hooked
You're an A number-one mainliner

You think so, huh?
Okay, pally
Oh, I'm sorry, my glass slipped
Hey, look, let's go
This party's too dead ass for me

Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ah, no, no, on, wait a, wait a minute, now
Listen, I, I got some business to take care of
And uh, and uh, just hang on for a few minutes (we've got a surprise for you right now)
Everything will be smooth and I'll take you
Right on home, okay? (A very talented young lady is here tonight)

No, it's not okay (now I predict)
If you don't get a cab (once the 4:35 is over)
I get my own self a cab, okay? (Will be one of the biggest stars in Manhattan)

Billie, take it easy, baby (with a little coaxing)
(Maybe we can get her up here to sing) just wait one minute, one minute
Okay
Ladies and gentlemen, Café Manhattan proudly presents
Miss Billie Holiday
