Текст и слова песни Tom Waits – Invitation to the Blues
Well she s up against the register
with an apron and a spatula
with yesterday s deliveries,
and the tickets for the bachelors
she s a moving violation
from her conk down to her shoes
but it s just an invitation to the blues
and you feel just like Cagney
looks like Rita Hayworth
at the counter of the Schwab s drug store
you wonder if she might be single
she s a loner likes to mingle
got to be patient and pick up a clue
she says howyougonnalikem
over medium or scrambled
anyway s the only way
be careful not to gamble
on a guy with a suitcase
and a ticket gettin out of here
it s a tired bus station
and an old pair of shoes
but it 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
and it s mercy mercy Mr. Percy
there ain t nothin back in Jersey
but a broken-down jalopy of a
man I left behind
and a dream that I was chasin
and a battle with booze
and an open invitation to the blues
but she s had a sugar daddy
and a candy apple Caddy
and a bank account and everything
accustom to the finer things
he probably left her for a socialite
and he didn t love her cept at night
and then he s drunk and never
even told her that he cared
so they took the registration
and the car-keys and her shoes
And left her with an invitation
to the blues
Cause there s a Continental Trailways leaving
local bus tonight, good evening
you can have my seat
I m stickin round here for a while
get me a room at the Squire
the filling station s hiring
I can eat here every night
what the hell have I got to lose
got a crazy sensation,
go or stay and I ve got to choose
and I ll accept your invitation to the blues
with an apron and a spatula
with yesterday s deliveries,
and the tickets for the bachelors
she s a moving violation
from her conk down to her shoes
but it s just an invitation to the blues
and you feel just like Cagney
looks like Rita Hayworth
at the counter of the Schwab s drug store
you wonder if she might be single
she s a loner likes to mingle
got to be patient and pick up a clue
she says howyougonnalikem

anyway s the only way

on a guy with a suitcase
and a ticket gettin out of here

and an old pair of shoes
