She was young, she was pure, she was new, she was nice
C
She was fair, she was sweet seventeen
A# F Dm
He was old, he was vile, and no stranger to vice
G C
He was base, he was bad, he was mean
F A#
He had slyly inveigled her up to his flat
Gm C
To view his collection of stamps
F A# F Dm
And he said as he hastened to put out the cat
A# C
The wine, his cigar and the lamps
F
Have some madeira, m'dear
C
You really have nothing to fear
A# F Dm
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
A# F Dm
I don't care for sherry, one cannot drink stout
G C
And port is a wine I can well do without
F A# F Dm
It's simply a case of chacun a son gout
A# 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
A# F Dm
She lowered her standards by raising her glass
G C
Her courage, her eyes and his hopes
F A#
She sipped it, she drank it, she drained it, she did
Gm C
He promptly refilled it again
F A# F Dm
And he said as he secretly carved one more notch
A# 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
A# F Dm
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
A# F Dm
Now if it were gin, you'd be wrong to say yes
G C
The evil gin does would be hard to assess
F A# F Dm
Besides it's inclined to affect me prowess
A# C F
Have some madeira, m'dear
F
Then there flashed through her mind what her mother had said
C
With her antepenultimate breath
A# F Dm
"Oh my child, should you look on the wine that is red
G C
Be prepared for a fate worse than death"
F A#
She let go her glass with a shrill little cry
Gm C
Crash! tinkle! it fell to the floor
F A# F Dm
When he asked, "What in Heaven?" she made no reply
A# 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
A# F Dm
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
A# F Dm
Until the next morning, she woke up in bed
G C
With a smile on her lips and an ache in her head
F A# F Dm
And a beard in her ear 'ole that tickled and said
A# C F
Have some madeira, m'dear
