"HAT CHECK GIRL" (Original lyrics)
It's quarter to three, it's time to go
I made my way down the velvet stairs
Bleary-eyed, I fumbled for my ticket
And gave it to the hat check girl

I looked in her eyes (her eyes)
Was I attracted to her, oh! My, oh! my, (Oh, my!)
She had the biggest pair of
Blue-grey eyes my eyes had ever feasted
I guess it's time to hit the road

The last taxi went hours ago
I had far to go, I was feeling low
When all at once upon the sidewalk
I saw her standing at her front door...

"Won't you come in?" she said
"I'll fix a drink and you can call for a cab from here."
(My luck was changing!)
The attraction was as instant as her coffee
In the apartment of the hat check girl

She said, "I'm not that kind of girl, But it's a dull old world
My real name's Reginald!"
When all at once he turned the light out
I sobered up and then I cried out...

It's quarter to four
I ran right down the stairs and out of the door (So long!)
I mislaid my hat in the confusion
I left it with the hat check girl (oh yeah)
I left it with the hat check girl (you better believe it)
I left it with the hat check, hat check, hat check
Hat check girl, ahhh...

It's quarter to four
Doo do, do, do, waaaaa
