Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to the Café Carlyle.
Please help me welcome to the stage
Miss Ertha Kitt.
Thank you. Good evening.
Romance me when you meet me
Whisper sweet nothings
when you greet me
Either wine or dine me or farewell me
Champagne, caviar me
Ritz Hotel me, baby sell me
I want to feel that I'm really livin'
I've got a lot to give
but first you do the givin'
If you'll take me to that place
called paradise
I'll pay for the trip if you'll pay the price
Get me going with your caresses
Make me tingle with delight
as night progresses
Let me know I mean the world to you
So sell me a baby again
I've got a penthouse lined
in satin
Overlooking Central Park
and all of Manhattan
Where you can hang your hat
most any matinee
Depends what you do,
depends what you say
But you could, boy, oh, you could, boy
So when you sell me your nine,
make it good, boy
You could be the apple of my eye
So sell me, sell me, sell me
And maybe this baby will buy
Have you heard of a place called Baton,
where they have so much fun tater -tating,
but to tater -tate
you have to have a mate,
don't hesitate or you might get the gator,
say you want me, but my desire,
if you find the flame
I might set the fire, it's up to you,
you see I'm really shy, so sell me, sell me, sell me,
and maybe, this baby, will buy,
maybe.
Thank you very much.
