Lyrics

I wonder who that fine chick is standing there Hey, that's Carmen McRae! How 'bout I go over there and pick up what she's puttin' down? Hey, Carmen! Hey, Sam, how are you? You sure look cool standing on the corner, sure look fine as wine Come on, we'll go over to Birdland and pick up on some cool jazz Cool? (Yeah) Fine as wine? (Yeah?) Oh, Sam (what's wrong?) When you meet somebody for the first time There are special things you're supposed to say Which you may not mean, but they sound polite as can be Would you like to learn them? Yeah, I've got 'em all ears Well then, repeat after me Happy to make your acquaintance Oh, that's the squarest thing I've heard in six months Thank you so much, I feel fine You mean you're feelin' groovy, Carmen? Happy to make your acquaintance (acquaintance?) And let me say, the pleasure is mine! You mean, you dig makin' the scene? How do you do? Pleased to know you Oh, that sounds too square, baby And though my English is poor You sound like one of them rock and roll cats Happy to make your acquaintance Now, won't you please say likewise? You mean, like, I'm hip? No, likewise (you mean, like, I dig what you're sayin'?) No, likewise (oh, likewise) I'm sure Well, if that's the kind of square cats you want to keep company with you I'll come on that way, if you insist Happy to make your acquaintance Oh, that's beautiful, Sam, beautiful Thank you so much, I feel fine That's the way to pronounce it, exactly the way Happy to make your acquaintance And let me say, the pleasure, mmm, is mine! Such eloquence, beautiful! How do you do? Pleased to know you Am I too much? (Oh, too much) And though my English is poor Not poor by any means! Rich, rich! Happy to make your acquaintance (ah-huh, uh, uh) Now, won't you please say likewise? Oh, you're roarin', Sam! Oh no, likewise (oh, that's a gas, Sammy!) It's rubbed off, likewise! I'm sure
