Gm7A7sus4A7DmGmBbA7
Well she'Dms up against the register with an apron and a spatula,
With yeFadd9sterdaAy's deliveries and the tAbdimickets for the bachelors
She's a movGm7ing violation from her cA7sus4onk down to her shoA7es,
But it'Dms just an inviGmtatBbion to A7the Dmblues
And you Gmfeel just like Cagney, she lokC7s like Rita Hayworth
At the coFunter of the Schwab's drugstore
You wondeGmr if she might be single, she's a C7loner and likes to mingle
FGot to be patient, try and piAck up A7a clDmue A A7
She said "DmHow you gonna like 'em, over medium or scrambled?",
You say "AFadd9nyway'As the only way", be Abdimcareful not to gamble
On a Gm7guy with a suitcase and a tiA7sus4cket getting A7out of here
In aDm tired bus statioDmn iCn an old pair of shoes
This ainA7sus4't no thing but an invitA7ation to the blues Dm
But you can't Gmtake your eyes off herGm7, get anC7other cup of java,
And it's jusF t the way she pours it for you, joking with the customers
Mercy Gmmercy, Mr. PercyGm7, there ain't C7nothing back in Jersey
But a broFken-down jalopy of a mAan I left beAhind A7
And a dDmream that I was chasingDm, C
a battle with booze
And an A7sus4open invitA7ation to the blDmues
But she used to hGmave a sugar daddy and a cC7andy-apple Caddy,
And a bFank account and everything, accustomed to the finer things
He probablyGm left her for a socialiteGm7, and he didnC7't love her 'cept at night,
And thFen he's drunk and never even tAold her that Ahe cared A7
So they Dm took the registrationDm, C
And the car-keys and her shoes
And leA7sus4ft her with an invitatA7ion to the blues Dm
DmFadd9AAbdim
Gm7(...A7soloDm sax)
'Cause there's a CGmontinental Trailways leaving loC7cal bus tonight, good evening
YoFu can have my seat, I'm sticking round here for a while
Get me a Gmroom at the Squire, the C7filling station's hiring,
And F I can eat here every night, what the hAell have I Agot to lose?A7
Got a cDmrazy sensationDm, C
Go or stay? now I gotta choose,
And I'll A7sus4 accept your invitA7ation to the bluesDm
