Pent Up In A Penthouse - Original - Fats Waller

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

Say 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, yeah

On Riverside Drive

Yes
