Dinner for one please, James,
The madame will not be dining.
Yes, you may bring the wine in,
Love plays such funny games.
Dinner for one

The madame will not be dining
Yes, you may bring the wine in
Love plays such funny games
Dinner for one please, James

Don't you know that
My friends may forsake me
Let them go

The best banjo picker in this whole country

Then he said, "Ain't you that songwriter guy"
And I said, "Yes I am," he said,
Dinner for one please, James,
The madame will not be dining.
Yes, you may bring the wine in,
Love plays such funny games.
Dinner for one
