Baby, leave the dishes 'til the morning While accepting my apologies See, I've been busy chasing my tail around While you've been busy chasing me But I bought a costume And I will wear it for you I've learned a dance routine From a dirty magazine Come and dance with me Sweet city girl You can be the Empress of Harlem And I'll be your subway boy Baby save your troubles 'til tomorrow Drink away your worries I know a thousand stories We can fall asleep again Considering the love we're in And the love we'll make As soon as I'm awake There is a tightrope I've been walking for you And I'll swing a mean trapeze Bring the crowd to its knees Let me show you Swing-set lover you're a playground Come and jump on my trampoline
