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