So sing me a song; make me a melody.

Steal my heart; what a felony.

You were caught red handed,

You handsome dancing bandit,

Of swing tunes in the night.


Though I am held here in your arms,

Love and trust seem so afar.

If a secret I did speak right now,

Would you tell the world aloud?

Oh be silent; do what's right.


I pray you, keep this quiet too,

As I murmur 'I don't need you'.

Oh sorrow, what a lie to aver.

To the truth I fear an answer.

Deception I shall speak tonight.


Forgive me love.
