Invitation to the Blues Lyrics
Artist: Jennifer Warnes
Album: The Well
Well, she€™s up against the register
An apron and a spatula
With yesterday€™s deliveries
And tickets for bachelors
She€™s a moving violation
From her conk down to her shoes
But she€™s just an invitation to the blues
But you feel like cagney
And she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwab€™s drugstore
You wonder if she might be single
She€™s a loner, likes to mingle
Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue
She says how you gonna like€™em
Medium or scrambled?
Any way is the only way
Be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase
And a ticket getting out here
It€™s tired bus station
And an old pair of shoes
Ain€™t nothing but an invitation to the blues
But you can€™t take your eyes off her
Get another cup of java
And it€™s just the way she pours it for you
Joking with the customers
Oh mercy, Mr. Percy!
There ain€™t nothing back in jersey
But a broken down jalopy
Of a man i left behind
And a dream that i was chasing
A battle with booze
An open invitation to the blues
Ah, but she€™s had a sugar daddy
And a candy apple caddy
A bank account and everything
Accustomed to the finer things
He left her for a socialite
He didn€™t love her except at night
And then he€™s drunk
And never even told her that he cared
So she took the registration
Car keys and her shoes
Left with an invitation to the blues
Now there€™s continental trailways leaving
Local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat
I€™m sticking round here for a while
Get a room at squire
The filling station€™s hiring
And I can cat here every night
What the hell have I got to lose
Got a crazy sensation
Go or stay, I gotta choose
I€™ll accept your invitation to the blues
