Queen Of Queens

I was sitting at a table and a staring at the evening sun

I believe I was in Spain but I knows I was a drinking rum

When I sees a little lady standing all alone

And I really loved the way she held the telefone

I said baby come and help me drive those blues away

Don’t slip away

Lordy she was pretty she was dressed just like a queen

Queen of all the queens young Nicholas ever seen

Madonna little lust pot come and have a drink

I didn’t give the creature even time to think

I said baby come and help me drive those blues away

Don’t slip away

I told her that I loved her just as much as early morning rain

She didn’t understand but she liked me just the same

But she didn’t like the boozin it would have to go

I said don’t be silly babe it’s only rum and snow

So come on baby come and help me drive those blues away

Don’t slip away

Well the bottles was a flying

And the both of us getting drunk

She was filling me with pills all kinds of other junk

I said listen here Medini I’m on the floor

She said “come on honey up it’s no 34”

Yeah come on up and help me drive them blues away

Don’t slip away

Well I woke up in the morning and my head was just a sea of rum

Madonna was a lying and a snoring in the noonday sun

So I kiss her rather gentle and I ask her name

And then I gives a scream and says that ain’t no dame

Will someday help me drive those blues away

I slipped away

I crawled away
