You're so late getting home from the office, 
Did you miss your train? 
Where you caught in the rain? 
No, don't bother to explain. 
Can I fix you a quick martini? 
As a matter of fact 
I'll have one with you, 
For to tell you the truth 
I've had quite a day too!

Guess who I saw to-day, my dear! 
-1 -2  -3  4   3   3   3   3
I went in town to shop a-round 
-3   -2    3   -3
for some-thing new, 
-1    -2    -3   4    3   3   3  3
and thought I'd stop and have a bite 
 -3 -2  3    -3
when I was through.

4   -3* -3  -3*  -3   3    -3    1
I looked a-round for some-place near, 
-1  -2 -3   4    3  3
and it oc-curred to me 
  3   3 -3    -2    3  -3    
where I had parked the car, 
-1   -2 -3  4   3    3    3
I’d seen a most at-tract-ive 
   3   -3 -2  3  -3
French ca-fe and bar.
4  -3*  -3 –3* -3   3 -3 -2
It real-ly was-n't ver-y far. 

-2   -2  -2   -2   -2 -2 -2  3
The wait-er showed me to a dark, 
3   -2  3   3   3
se-clud-ed cor-ner, 
 3   3   3   3*  3*  3*
And when my eyes be-came 
3* -3*  -3*  3* -3*   4
Ac-cus-tomed to the gloom, 
4  4   4   4   4  4   4  -4
I saw two peo-ple at the bar 
-4   -3  -4  -1  -1  -1
who were so much in love, 
 -1 -1* 2  4   4    4   4   -4
that ev-en I could spot it clear 
-4  -4  -3*  -4
a-cross the room.

  4   -3* -3-3* -3  3   -3  1
Guess who I saw to-day, my dear! 
 -1  -2  -3  4   3     3    3   3
I've nev-er been so shocked be-fore. 
-1  2  3   -5   -3 -3  -3   -3
I head-ed blind-ly for the door.
 -5   6  -5   5  -3* -3   3    -2
They did-n't see me pass-ing through, 
 -2    3 -2  4  4   4
Guess who I saw to-day?
2  2  -2
I saw you!
