Well-Rehearsed Serenade

I got a moonlight cab by the apple tree
The driver’s wishin' I’d set him free
He’s been on the lam since early June
Now he cricks his teeth as he hears me croon
A song I learned in the Lemon Bar
Can’t back down now, I’ve come this far
I’ve come this far
I’ve come this far
As I was washin' his jaundice space
I watched you walkin' out of Johnston’s place
Didn’t think you’d be gone so long
That I could wear out this lover’s song
Before I get through the second verse
You’ll know that it was well rehearsed
It was well rehearsed
It was well rehearsed
It was well rehearsed
It was well rehearsed
I could see your stubborn silhouette
I haven’t stopped my singin' yet
And I won’t give up, I won’t hide
As long as your window’s open wide
And I’m hopin' that this melody
Will make you come away with me
Come away with me
Come away with me
Come away with me
Come away with me
