G
She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice
D
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen
C G Em
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
Am D
To view his collection of stamps
G C G Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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
Am D
He promptly refilled it again
G C G Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
Besides it's inclined to affect me prowess
C D G
Have some madeira, m'dear
G
Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said
D
With her antepenultimate breath
C G Em
"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
Am D
Crash! tinkle! it fell to the floor
G C G Em
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 Em
E 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 Em
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 Em
And a beard in her ear 'ole that tickled and said
C D G
Have some madeira, m'dear
