jay leonhart - chantecler lyrics

Loading...

let me tell you ’bout the girl,
that i met in the chantecler,
back when i was sixteen.
she was beautiful,
she danced for the people in a way,
that i had never seen.

lord, she was a beauty,
dancing was her duty,
to the music of the band.
folks come in the chantecler,
she would dance and they would stare,
i was lost in wonderland.

i would go there sunday nights
to play some music, drink some whiskey,
watch her dance and greet the sun.
i would go there sunday nights
to play some music, drink some whiskey,
drive her home when she was done.

seems i spend a lot of sunday nights that way,
drinking whiskey, living in a trance.
hanging round the chantecler, doing my best not to stare
and watching that girl dance.

this was baltimore, back in the 50s,
a lovely place to be.
the worries of the world did not exist then,
at least looking back it seems that way to me.

i had never seen a live girl dancing with no clothes on,
gracious, what charisma she possessed.
i would go downstairs and talk to her through the front door
of a dressing room, while she got dressed.

every sunday night i could not wait to see her,
every sunday night it was the same.
every ounce of my existence threatened to break out
into total unabashed burning flame.

i know you never rest,
but no we never made love,
that could not be at the time,
but you filled my live with deep infatuation
and semi-drunken sunday night sublime.

yes, you filled my live with deep infatuation
and semi-drunken sunday night sublime.
