[Title: A Gentleman, Please] [Spoken Intro - Male] The punani Stalker... Halloween host, at your service. [Spoken Reply - Female] That's quite a name. Let's see your manners. [Verse 1] You got the long black coat and the silver cane Everybody at the party seems to know your name But I don't get impressed by an entrance alone Can you make me laugh when we're talking on our own? You pulled out a chair, asked if I'd like to sit Didn't tell me what you thought my costume meant I said, "That's one point already on your side" You said, "Then let me try to earn another five" [Pre-Chorus] I like a little theater I like a little charm But the man beneath the character Is who I'm dancing with tonight [Chorus] A gentleman, please With a little Halloween up his sleeve Someone who can hear me When I tell him what I need Trick me with a clever line Treat me like you value my time A little mystery is fine With a gentleman like mine [Verse 2] You said, "Would you like to make the next request?" I gave the DJ something with a heavy bass Then held my hand out, watched you understand Tonight I like a woman making her own plans You followed when I led you past the masquerade Kept me laughing through the whole slow-dancing phase When I said, "A little closer," you said, "Here?" I smiled and said, "You listen very well, my dear" [Dance Break - Call and Response] What's the trick? [Make me laugh] What's the treat? [Make it last] Who decides? [We both do] That's the kind of party [I came to!] [Bridge - Male and Female] [Male] May I have another dance? [Female] You may, you may [Male] Any special requests? [Female] Keep looking at me that way [Final Chorus] A gentleman, please With a little Halloween up his sleeve Someone who can hear me When I tell him what I need Trick me with a clever line Treat me like you value my time A little mystery is fine With a gentleman like mine [Spoken Outro - Female] All right, Mr. Halloween. The manners check out.
