Well excuse me, but I think you've got my chair, No that one's not taken, I don't mind if you sit here, I'll be glad to share. Yea it's usually, packed here on Friday nights, Oh if you don't mind could I talk you out of a light? Well thank you, could I drink you a buy? Oh listen to me, what I mean is can I buy you a drink? Anything you please. Oh you're welcome, well I don't think I caught your name, Are you waiting for someone to meet you here? Well that makes two of us, glad you came. No I don't know the name of the band but they're good, Aren't they, would you like to dance? Yea I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me baby Do you think there's a chance? That later on, I could drive you home? No I don't mind at all, Oh I like you too and to tell you the truth That wasn't my chair after all. Oh I like you too and to tell you the truth That wasn't my chair after all.
