Pent Up In A Penthouse Fats Waller

All pent up in a penthouse, yeah

Say all pent up in a penthouse
Table laid ready for two
Our date was at seven
It's now past eleven
Oh baby, what's happened to you?

All pent up in a penthouse
Cocktails are ready to shake
Dinner's untasted, the evening's been wasted
Is this your idea of a break?

Say I keep phoning your apartment
Keep on getting no reply
How long must I wait
While you celebrate
With some other lucky guy?

All pent up in a penthouse
By midnight if you don't arrive
Say, I'll rush to the window
I'll throw the table
The dinner, the cocktails, the orchids, and maybe myself
Down to the sidewalk
Turn left
On Riverside Drive
Send me on out there
In the morning
Yes, yes
