[00:29.516]Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula
[00:38.215]Yesterday's deliveries tickets for the bachelors
[00:44.732]She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes
[00:51.987]Well it's just an invitation to the blues
[00:59.18]And you feel just like Cagney she looks like Rita Hayworth
[01:06.957]At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore
[01:13.217]You wonder if she might be single she's a loner and likes to mingle
[01:20.769]Got to be patient try and pick up a clue
[01:27.66]She said how you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled
[01:35.908]You say anyway's the only way be careful not to gamble
[01:42.914]On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here
[01:50.240]It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes
[01:57.311]This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues
[02:04.657]But you can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java
[02:12.263]It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers
[02:19.140]Mercy mercy Mr.Percy there ain't nothing back in jersey
[02:25.482]But a broken down jalopy of a man I left behind
[02:32.150]And the dream that I was chasing and a battle with booze
[02:40.313]And an open invitation to the blues
[02:46.838]But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy apple Caddy
[02:54.402]And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things
[03:01.192]He probably left her for a socialite and he didn't 'cept at night
[03:08.396]And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared
[03:14.635]So they took the registration and the car keys and her shoes
[03:23.154]And left her with an invitation to the blues
[03:57.144]Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening
[04:05.365]You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while
[04:11.239]Get me a room at the squire the filling station's hiring
[04:18.478]And I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose
[04:24.933]Got a crazy sensation go or stay now I gotta choose
[04:33.196]And I'll accept your invitation to the blues
