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

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