- Ruth Pelham
Would you like to play bridge and have a nice cup of
tea
In the morning, Mrs. Abrams
We'll be starting out at ten, Mrs. Iltis and Flora Hazleton
What we need is a fourth, Ida Yancey's not here
She's at her sister's in New Jersey
So, Mrs. Abrams, will you play - what d'ya say
I haven't played bridge since my husband died
It's been a while, Mrs. Reilly
I can hardly remember the rules, I'm really rusty and I'd feel
such a fool
But since you ask I could give it a go
Mrs. Iltis has a book, she'd lend it I know
So, Mrs. Reilly, it's tea at ten - I'll see you then
Would you like to play pool in the tournament
We could be partners, Mr. Gaffney
There's a game that begins at two, Mr. Sheenan, Ted Fine against
me and you
I think that we could give them a go
Maybe both win a trophy
Mr. Gaffney, will you play - what d'ya say
I like to catch a little snooze every day about noon
I get so tired, Mr. Rosen
There are times when I feel so stiff I can hardly keep a hold of
the old queue-
But since you ask, it doesn't look like rain /stick
Last night I slept great with the pink pills for the pain
Mr. Rosen, see you at two - we'll take them on, me and you
Would you like to play horn in the orchestra
You'd be terrific, Mr. Lopez
We'll be tuning up at three, your friend Hal Hirsch plays the
tympani
We'll play some Gershwin and some J. S. Bach
Can you believe we'll even try a little pop and some rock
So, Mr. Lopez, will you play - what do you say
My lip's not in shape, my horn is worn and old
It's at my brother's, Mrs. Malcolm
My sight-reading's very slow and I'd hold you back I know
But since you ask I could maybe drop by
Fill in for a while if you need me
So, Mrs. Malcolm, see you at three at the do-re-
I'll leave and bring my brother with me to the do-re-
Thanks for asking me to the do-re-mi
