Verse 1
(B major) (E major) Billy's Bar and Grill.
I liked the sound of the name,
and it looked cool inside
and reasonably clean.
(D flat major) As I went in,
the first thing that caught my eye
was a men -only (A flat major) sign.
This seemed fair enough,
so I sat down and began indulging
(A flat major) one of my favorite (C major) hobbies,
(D flat major) that of eavesdropping on strangers.
You talk about dreams.
I had a dream a couple
(D flat major) nights ago.
Trapped, I was single. My face.
Oh, I had to open my big mouth
and tell my old lady.
(D flat major) She starts in.
(E flat major) She could have married (D flat major) this one,
she could have married that one,
diamonds she'd been wearing,
mink she'd been wearing,
and then my mother -in
She starts (E flat major) in, you know. I
(A flat major) told you so.
(G major) If you'd only listened to me.
That kind of talk.
All that yakking, you'd think (C major) I wasn't bringing in my 42 (G major) .50 regular
like clockwork every week the (C major) way they, (E flat major) the way (A flat major) they...
(D flat major) Wow -wee!
Hey, Billy, do you see what
I see?
What's the matter?
Didn't you (A flat major) guys ever
see a (D flat major) pretty girl before?
(E flat major) Not in no (D flat major) men's bar, ain't.
Yeah,
what about your rule, Billy?
Rule schmool.
(G major) This dame's got class.
(D major) She is obviously (G major) a lady,
a lady, a lady
(D major) She is obviously (G major) a lady (A flat major) of the first (D major) de gree
(G major) Here she comes.
Now watch your language,
you guys.
(D major) Ahem. Something (C major) for you, miss?
Yes, I believe
I'll have a happiness cocktail, (G minor) please.
A (C major) happiness cocktail?
(A major) I don't believe (C major) I ever...
Uh, wait a minute,
I got a bartender's (A minor) guide of...
You won't (F sharpdim) find it in a (G major) book
You'd be more (D major) apt to (G major) find it in a sigh
Or (G minor) a smile or (Gdim) (C major) a look
(F major) Meet some kindness with some (F minor) fun
(B flat major) Then (E flat major) add a touch of April (E flat minor) sun
(A flat major) Blend (D flat major) with a (F major) soft spoken (B flat minor) word
(E flat major) An d when you're done
(F major) I'll have a happiness cocktail
You'll have a happiness cock (C major) tail
Pour (F major) some laughter in your (F minor) brew (B flat major)
(E flat major) Plus a stolen kiss (E flat minor) or two
(A flat major) Then (D flat major) an (F major) open fire and (B flat minor) a dream
And when (E flat major) you're through
We'll (F major) have a happiness (G minor) cocktail
Yes, yes, (F major) yes
When (E flat minor) your wife beats you just (A flat major) say
My dear, (D flat major) you're looking
younger every day
An (C major) d get (F major) that dour (A major) look off your (D major) face,
you're just as (G major) good as any (C major) other man
(G flatdim) is. (F major) (B flat major) (B flat minor)
(E flat major) (A flat major) (A flat minor) (D flat major)
(F sharp major) It made a wonderful picture.
(B flat major) A beautiful girl (E flat minor) in a men's (A flat major) bar,
completely captivating
(B flat major) all the occupants.
myself very much included.
(G minor) I was hoping she'd sing again,
(C major) and she did.
This time, directly to me.
If the dreams (F major) you dream
(A flat major) aren't coming (B flat major) true
And (E flat major) hap piness seems overdue
(A flat major) Give (D flat major) me (F major) your hand
and I'll (B flat minor) tell you (E flat major) what I'll do
I'll (F major) make a happiness cocktail,
(B flat major) (G minor) just for (C major) you. (F major)
