| Ella Fitzgerald – Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable to Lunch Today) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe this song was composed in a very short space of time as a result of Cole Porter being told in a restaurant by the waiter that his expected guest was delayed: Waiter: "Sir, I have a message for you - Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today". Cole Porter's imagination was excited by the possible reason and he coined the rather outlandish excuse as given in the lyrics! OK? Michael UK | |
