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