Just a quiet evening - Johnny Mercer,
Richard Whiting
Going out to parties is only making us blasé and bored,
and if we were smarties, we'd overlook the fuss we can't afford and thank the
Lord
For just a quiet evening, no celebration; just conversation alone with you.
I'm the type who smokes a pipe with charm and finesse;
you can cook, or read a book or mend an old dress.
Just a quiet evening, no band with trumpets; just tea with crumpets, that's what
we'll do.
I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to just a quiet evening alone
with you.
