Ash from my cigarette drops, i can't figure it
What's taking baby so long?
She's missed her bus
Maybe caught in the rush
Or perhaps my directions were wrong.
It's almost time, boy
Drink up your wine, boy
I'm smoking a long cigarette
I'm hoping my baby will come along yet
Tonight you'll be lonely why evens I'll bet
Some other sucker she's met
Smoking her long cigarette
Clock's ticking softly, there's skin on my coffee
The hope in my heart's on the wane
Can't understand it, where is she?
The bandit just paid out the jackpot again
It's almost time, boy
Drink up your wine, boy
I'm smoking a long cigarette
I'm hoping my baby will come along yet
Tonight you'll be lonely why evens I'll bet
Some other sucker she's met
Smoking her long cigarette
There's my baby there
Rain's all in her hair
Let her in waiter, you'll get my tip later
My baby's just outside the door
Bring two more coffees and you can go off
Be assured we won't want any more
Baby looks fine, boy
Wish she were mine, boy
I've just smoked my last cigarette
I'm glad baby's come, knew she wouldn't forget
She's worth waiting for i should never have bet
Some other sucker she's met
Smoking her long cigarette
