jay leonhart - chanticler lyrics

let me tell you ’bout the girl that i met in the chanticler
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 chanticler, 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 spent a lot of sunday nights that way
drinking whiskey living in a trance
hangin’ ’round the chanticler, doin’ my best not to stare
and watching that girl dance

this was baltimore, back in the fifties
a lovely place to be
the worries of the world did not exist then
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 her 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’d never ask but no we never made love
that could not be at the time
but she filled my life with deep infatuation
and semi+drunken sunday nights sublime
yeah, she filled my life with deep infatuation
and semi+drunken sunday nights sublime
