You’re so late getting home from the office,
Did you miss your train?
Where you caught in the rain?
No, don’t bother to explain.
Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact
I’ll have one with you,
For to tell you the truth
I’ve had quite a day too!

Guess who I saw to-day, my dear!
-1 -2 -3 4 3 3 3 3
I went in town to shop a-round
-3 -2 3 -3
for some-thing new,
-1 -2 -3 4 3 3 3 3
and thought I’d stop and have a bite
-3 -2 3 -3
when I was through.

4 -3* -3 -3* -3 3 -3 1
I looked a-round for some-place near,
-1 -2 -3 4 3 3
and it oc-curred to me
3 3 -3 -2 3 -3
where I had parked the car,
-1 -2 -3 4 3 3 3
I�d seen a most at-tract-ive
3 -3 -2 3 -3
French ca-fe and bar.
4 -3* -3 �3* -3 3 -3 -2
It real-ly was-n’t ver-y far.

The wait-er showed me to a dark,
3 -2 3 3 3
se-clud-ed cor-ner,
3 3 3 3* 3* 3*
And when my eyes be-came
3* -3* -3* 3* -3* 4
Ac-cus-tomed to the gloom,
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 -4
I saw two peo-ple at the bar
-4 -3 -4 -1 -1 -1
who were so much in love,
-1 -1* 2 4 4 4 4 -4
that ev-en I could spot it clear
-4 -4 -3* -4
a-cross the room.

4 -3* -3-3* -3 3 -3 1
Guess who I saw to-day, my dear!
-1 -2 -3 4 3 3 3 3
I’ve nev-er been so shocked be-fore.
-1 2 3 -5 -3 -3 -3 -3
I head-ed blind-ly for the door.
-5 6 -5 5 -3* -3 3 -2
They did-n’t see me pass-ing through,
-2 3 -2 4 4 4
Guess who I saw to-day?
2 2 -2
I saw you!
