Benny Benack et Veronica Swift - Social Call

Benny

Happened to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that’s all
Lately, I’ve thought lots about you
So I thought I’d pay a social call

Veronica

Do you recall the old days?
We used to have a ball

Benny

Not that I’m lonesome without you
I just thought I’d pay a social call

Veronica

I thought I’d say
Things are just swell
But to tell the truth
I haven’t been so well
And if you should try to kiss me
I promise that I won’t stall

Benny

Maybe we’ll get back together

Benny & Veronica

Starting from this incidental
Elemental
Simple social call

Benny

Do you remember all the good times that we had my baby girl?
I’ll never forget you’ve got the greatest smile in the world
Oh, my sugarplum fairy, don’t hold a grudge
I simply had to say hello once more

And am I insane
Or do I really see a world where you and I could be together, forever
When, buttercup, don’t slam the door in my face
Unless you really wanna spill my heart all over the place

Oh, I guess we’re going to spend a lot of time hanging out like this
I’m tryna break my habit of you
But, since we weren’t back together I suppose we should start anew
Dear, what do you say?

Oh! I can’t take it
My! Heart is breaking
I’m laying it on the line

If you can find it in your mind that there just a little
Itsy, bitsy, chance that you might miss me
Let’s give it a whirl

Veronica

Baby, we’ve played this game a thousand million times
I should throw your heart in jail for all of its crimes
You say that you love me and I think that it’s true
But why should I just sit at home awaiting for you

When we’re together, it’s always stormy weather
And I really feel like sittin’ on a beach, with you out of reach
Whenever you smirk, I get weak in the knees
But if you’re a jerk, I’ll tune out all of your pleas

Well I suppose just one drink couldn’t hurt
But just one, nothing more
I’m onto all of your tricks
But if you slip up, I’ll show you the door

I must be crazy, but I’m coming around
But if you do me wrong, I’ll run you out of this town
I guess that I could give you one more chance now
To prove you’re the man who can love me everyday

And never leave my side ever again

Benny & Veronica

If you should try to kiss me baby
I promise I won’t stall
