lyrics
Beth and Uncle Lou want us at six, your sister too, and then, a birthday bash for Cousin Sue, that’s just a few....
Don’t be upset if I’m intent to skip our set’s fine fete.
Let’s us don’t fret, let’s send regrets let’s have a tête-à-tête.
The fire’s a-glow, the lamps are low. Our friends are swell, but, “No!”
Our plans aren’t set. We just won’t go. Let’s tell ‘em,
“Heck, we’d rather stay at home and pet!”
The madding crowd can hiss and boo.
I’d rather kiss and bill and coo.
R.S.V.P.s, soirees and teas; won’t you agree, “Not we!”
Love can be ours if we just dare, give them the air and throw our own affair.
