Lyrics Van Dyke Parks

Van Dyke Parks

An Invitation To Sin

Stretch yourself out let me tell you what it's all about

Doubtless you wanna know

I been a queen and I seen high society

Climb the stairs so many times with milionaires just to

Help them chase their cares away

These are the does I suppose you all knows how to play

An invitation to sin and begin to be gay

Pick a winner red hot chicken dinner

Sinner or help yourself to some quail

We got a covey, a bevy of love for sale

If she suit you fancy if you need romancin

Don't let this chance pass you by

This ain't no dime a dance so let that old eagle fly

An invitation to sin and begin to be gay

I done some time back in my prime

My crime was that I didn't know when to quit

Times was unkind to me now I don't mind a bit

Face you can't forget night of love you won't regret

Feelin you ain't felt before

If you can't pay sonny just make you way out the door

An invitation to sin and begin to be gay
