Almost Persuaded, No. 2

Last night I stumbled in to a bar room I met a girl with a pint in her purse She was cute as two speckled puppies And I said Ben you could do worse Then I walked across a room full of tables Walked across her table too And I flopped myself down in a chair And said hi there She whispered my name is Mabel And all I could say was hi there I said permit me to introduce myself Ben Colder here She said it ain't been no colder here than anyplace else I had her almost persuaded What happened to the doodle-doodle-do... piano... thank you To slip- strip herself of her pride Almost persuaded to slip me a drink on the side Then we danced and we danced and we danced and we danced That is I thought I was dancin' somebody stepped on my hand Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it The reflection of my wedding band And I thought that sure is strange I ain't even married What it was it was my wrist watch I had her almost persuaded Once more there Argus To come and be my own Smart alec (Almost persuaded) Then her boyfriend came and made me go home
