D
She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice
A
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen
G D Bm
He was old, he was vile, and no stranger to vice
E A
He was base, he was bad, he was mean
D G
He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat
Em A
To view his collection of stamps
D G D Bm
And he said as he hastened to put out the cat
G A
The wine, his cigar and the lamps
D
Have some madeira, m'dear
A
You really have nothing to fear
G D Bm
I'm not trying to tempt you, that wouldn't be right
E A
You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night
D
Have some madeira, m'dear
A
It's really much nicer than beer
G D Bm
I don't care for sherry, one cannot drink stout
E A
And port is a wine I can well do without
D G D Bm
It's simply a case of chacun a son gout
G A D
Have some madeira, m'dear
D
Unaware of the wiles of the snake-in-the-grass
A
And the fate of the maiden who topes
G D Bm
She lowered her standards by raising her glass
E A
Her courage, her eyes and his hopes
D G
She sipped it, she drank it, she drained it, she did
Em A
He promptly refilled it again
D G D Bm
And he said as he secretly carved one more notch
G A
On the butt of his gold-headed cane
D
Have some madeira, m'dear,
A
I've got a small cask of it here
G D Bm
And once it's been opened, you know it won't keep
E A
Do finish it up, it will help you to sleep
D
Have some madeira, m'dear,
A
It's really an excellent year
G D Bm
Now if it were gin, you'd be wrong to say yes
E A
The evil gin does would be hard to assess
D G D Bm
Besides it's inclined to affect me prowess
G A D
Have some madeira, m'dear
D
Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said
A
With her antepenultimate breath
G D Bm
"Oh my child, should you look on the wine that is red
E A
Be prepared for a fate worse than death"
D G
She let go her glass with a shrill little cry
Em A
Crash! tinkle! it fell to the floor
D G D Bm
When he asked, "What in Heaven?" she made no reply
G A
Up her mind, and a dash for the door
D
Have some madeira, m'dear,
A
Rang out down the hall loud and clear
G D Bm
B tremulous cry that was filled with despair
E A
As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air
D
Have some madeira, m'dear,
A
The words seemed to ring in her ear
G D Bm
Until the next morning, she woke up in bed
E A
With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head
D G D Bm
And a beard in her ear 'ole that tickled and said
G A D
Have some madeira, m'dear
