Nat “King” Cole
Dinner for One Please, James
[Verse 1]
Dinner for one please, James
The madame will not be dining
Yes, you may bring the wine in
Love plays such funny games

[Verse 2]
Dinner for one please, James
Close Madame's room, we've parted
Please, don't look so downhearted
Love plays such funny games

[Verse 3]
Seems my best friend told her of another
I had no chance to deny
You know there has never been another
Someday she`ll find out the lie

[Chorus]
Maybe she's not to blame
Leave me with silent hours
No, don't move her favorite flowers
Dinner for one please, James

[Chorus]
Maybe she's not to blame
Leave me with silent hours
No, don't move her favorite flowers
Dinner for one please, James
