Hey, hey, hey, yeah
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
We jumped over the counter, took off with our hands full of booze
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
We made a great couple, me and him
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We sat there quietly, purposely ignoring the room
Threw it over his shoulder and rested his hand on my knee
My shot of whiskey but he said I only drink gin
Fallen Angel, Green Dragon, ending with a kiss in the dark
Everything was hidden by, all the greasy hair he was in
Never looking up, he seemed so sad, I tried to offer him
Went to the ladies room, when I returned to my chair
Last call came right at once, glasses were empty and dry
Took out a photo of an old Romeo
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
We made a great couple, me and him
We played these games where we go through the whole alphabet
He'd have an Adam and Eve and I had a Dixie Julep
Didn't even seem to care, the bartender unaware
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin
In the back room of the bar, crusty fingernails I saw him
Well, that's the way it is with him
Went through an Artillery, Caruso and a Diamond Fizz
But he stole my heart when he ordered a double for me
He smiled wistfully, his shirt was dirty and torn
We got our second wind but all we had was a dime
'Cause I drink whiskey but he only ever drinks gin
His hands were in my bag, red handed guilt everywhere
In the back room of the bar
In the back room of the bar
Everlasting glances left open ended chances
