Would you like to play bridge and have a nice cup of tea
In the morning, Mrs Abrams?
We're starting out at ten
Mrs Iltis and Flora Hazleton
What we need is a fourth 'cause Ida Yancey's not here
She's at her sister's in New Jersey
So, Mrs Abrams, will you play - what d'ya say?
Well, I haven't played bridge since my husband died
It's been a while, Mrs Reilly
I can hardly remember the rules
I'm really rusty and I know I'd feel like a fool
But since you ask I could give it a go
Mrs Iltis has a book she'd lend me I know
So, Mrs Reilly, it's tea at ten - see you then
Would you like to play pool in the tournament?
We could be partners, Mr Gaffney
There's a game that starts at two
Mr Sheen and Ted Fine against me and you
Yes, you're my pick you bank 'em in every time
We could both win a trophy
Mr Gaffney, will you play - what d'ya say?
I like to catch a few winks, take a snooze at noon
I get so tired, Mr Rosen
There are times when I'm so stiff
I can hardly keep a hold of the darn queue-stick
But since you ask, it doesn't feel like rain
Last night I slept great
With those pink pills for the pain
So, Mr Rosen, see you at two
We'll take 'em on, me and you!
Would you like to play horn in the orchestra?
You'd be terrific, Mr Lopez
We're tuning up at three
Your friend Hal Herschel'll play the tympani
We're gonna play a little Gershwin and some J S Bach
Can you even believe
We're gonna try a little pop and some rock?
So, Mr Lopez, will you play - what do you say?
My lip is not in shape, my horn is worn and old
It's at my brother's, Mrs Malcolm
My sight-reading's awful slow
It's been years, I'd hold you up I know
But since you ask I could just stop by
I could sit in for a while if you need me
So, Mrs Malcolm, I'll see you at three at the do-re-
I'll even bring my brother with me to the do-re-
And thanks for asking me to the do-re-mi!
