This next-
Oh, thank you
This next song, we're gonna make believe
We're in, uh, Casablanca
And I'm Humphrey Bogart, and this is what I'm gonna sing to Lauren Bacall
And it's called Berlin

By Berlin, by the wall
You were five foot, ten inches tall
It was oh-so nice
Hey honey, it was candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe
And you could hear the guitars play
It was oh-so nice
Hey baby, it was, uh, paradise

You're right, woah, and I'm wrong
You know I'm going to miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day

You're right, woah, and I'm wrong
You know I'm going to miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day

We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was oh-so nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

Don't you forget, hire a vet
He hasn't had that much fun yet
It was oh-so nice
Hey honey, it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong
You know I'm going to miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day

You're right, woah, and I'm wrong
You know I'm going to miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
Oh, oh, one sweet day

One sweet day, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby, baby, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby, baby, one sweet day
Baby, baby, one sweet day
