She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice
D#
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen
C# G# Fm
He was old, he was vile, and no stranger to vice
A# D#
He was base, he was bad, he was mean
G# C#
He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat
A#m D#
To view his collection of stamps
G# C# G# Fm
And he said as he hastened to put out the cat
C# D#
The wine, his cigar and the lamps
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear
D#
You really have nothing to fear
C# G# Fm
I'm not trying to tempt you, that wouldn't be right
A# D#
You shouldn't drink spirits at this time of night
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear
D#
It's really much nicer than beer
C# G# Fm
I don't care for sherry, one cannot drink stout
A# D#
And port is a wine I can well do without
G# C# G# Fm
It's simply a case of chacun a son gout
C# D# G#
Have some madeira, m'dear
G#
Unaware of the wiles of the snake-in-the-grass
D#
And the fate of the maiden who topes
C# G# Fm
She lowered her standards by raising her glass
A# D#
Her courage, her eyes and his hopes
G# C#
She sipped it, she drank it, she drained it, she did
A#m D#
He promptly refilled it again
G# C# G# Fm
And he said as he secretly carved one more notch
C# D#
On the butt of his gold-headed cane
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear,
D#
I've got a small cask of it here
C# G# Fm
And once it's been opened, you know it won't keep
A# D#
Do finish it up, it will help you to sleep
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear,
D#
It's really an excellent year
C# G# Fm
Now if it were gin, you'd be wrong to say yes
A# D#
The evil gin does would be hard to assess
G# C# G# Fm
Besides it's inclined to affect me prowess
C# D# G#
Have some madeira, m'dear
G#

D#
With her antepenultimate breath
C# G# Fm
"Oh my child, should you look on the wine that is red
A# D#
Be prepared for a fate worse than death"
G# C#
She let go her glass with a shrill little cry
A#m D#
Crash! tinkle! it fell to the floor
G# C# G# Fm
When he asked, "What in Heaven?" she made no reply
C# D#
Up her mind, and a dash for the door
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear,
D#
Rang out down the hall loud and clear
C# G# Fm
F tremulous cry that was filled with despair
A# D#
As she paused to take breath in the cool midnight air
G#
Have some madeira, m'dear,
D#
The words seemed to ring in her ear
C# G# Fm
Until the next morning, she woke up in bed
A# D#
With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head
G# C# G# Fm
And a beard in her ear 'ole that tickled and said
C# D# G#
Have some madeira, m'dear
