Paroles
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
