The Tiger Lillies Miss Otis Regrets song lyrics

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

She's sorry to be delayed

But last evening in Lovers' Lane she strayed, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam

She ran to the man who had led her so far astray

And from under her velvet gown

She drew a gun and shot her lover man down, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam

They strung her up on the old willow across the way

And the moment before she died

She lifted up her lovely head and cried

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
