"Have one on me" lyrics

From the courtyard, 

I floated in 

And watched it go down 

Heard the cup drop; 

Thought, "Well That's why they keep them around."

 The blackguard sat hard, down 

With no head on him now And I felt so bad 

Cause I didn't know how 

To feel bad enough

 To make him proud 

By the time you read this I will be so far away

 Daddy longlegs, how in the world 

Am I to be expected to stay? 

In the night-- In the night, you may hear me call 

Pa, stay your hand And steel your resolve 

Stay where you are

 So long and tall 

Here's Lola--ta da!--to do

 Her famous Spider Dance for you! 

Lighten up your pockets! 

Shake her skirts and scatter, there

 A shrieking, six-legged millionaire

 With a blight in his sockets

 Miss Montez 

The Countess of Lansfeld 

Appealed to the King of Bavaria

 Saying, "Pretty papa If you are my friend--

 Mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!-- 

Can I see you?" Poor Lola!

 A tarantula's mounting Countess Lansfeld's Handsome brassiere While they all cheer And the old king fell from grace While Lola fled To save face and her career You caught a fly, floating by Wait for him to drown in the dust; Drown in the dust of other flies Whereby the machine is run And the deed is done Heaven has no word For the way you and your friends Have treated poor Louis May god save your poor soul, Lola (But there is nothing I adore Apart from that *****'s black heart.) Well, doesn't that just beat all! Miss Gilbert Called to Castlemaine By the silver dollar and the gold glitter! Well, I've seen lots But never, in a million years Would think to see you, here Though the long road Begins and ends with you I cannot seem to make amends With you, Louis When we go out They're bound to see you with me At night, I walk in the park With a whip Between the lines Of the whispering Jesuits Who are poisoning you against me There's a big black spider Hanging over my door Can't go anywhere, anymore Tell me, are you with me? I called to you, several times While the change took place And then arrived, all night And I died But all these songs When you and I are long gone Will carry on Mud in your eye You asked my hand Hired a band "In your heart is all that you need; Ask and you will receive," it is said I threw my bouquet And I knocked 'em dead Bottle of white, bottle of red Helpless as a child When you held me in your arms And I knew that no other Could ever love me as you loved But help me! I'm leaving! I remember everything Down to the sound of you shaving-- The scrape of your razor The dully-abrading black hair That remained When you clutched at me That night I came upstairs, half-dead And, in your kindness You put me straightaway In the cupboard With a bottle of champagne And then, later, on a train It was dark out, I was half-dead I saw a star fall into the sky Like a chunk of thrown coal As if god himself spat Like a cornered rat I really want you to do this for me Will you have one on me? It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead And we slept, knocking heads Sitting up in the star-smoking air Knocking heads like buoys Don't you worry for me! Have one on me! Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass To how you made me fast And expendable And I will drink to your excellent health And your cruelty Will you have one on me? --helpless as a child When you held me in your arms And I knew that no other Could ever love me-- From the courtyard, I floated in And watched it go down Heard the cup drop; Thought, "Well, that's why They keep them around." The blackguard sat hard, down With no head on him now And I felt so bad Cause I didn't know how To feel bad enough To make him proud Well daddy longlegs, are you? Daddy longlegs, are you? Daddy longlegs, are you proud?​​​​​​
