[Intro] [Verse 1] I seen him sitting in the velvet room Once crazy gumshoe with a look of gloom He puts on his pinstripe shabby hat Waiting to hear me sing that cool cat [Verse 2] He looks at me with those curious eyes With furious passion held deep inside Sweat keeps dripping down his side He always has a sweet surprise [Chorus] Oh, darling, you’re my sweetest crime, The darkest secret of my time. I'm a shadowy siren in velvet red, Who stole your heart and turned your head. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] You call me a dame in a short skirt But I see you staring at my low cut shirt You think I'm a cookie, a real swell girl I am not one of your showgirls [Verse 4] You want to charge me for a crime Your moxie seems to fail all the time One look at me on the center stage Makes you forget all your rage [Bridge] Instead you sit and sip your gin, And let your wicked magic win. Throw your silver badge away, I'll sing for you for another day! [Chorus] Oh, darling, you’re my sweetest crime, The darkest secret of my time. I'm shadowy siren in velvet red, Who stole your heart and turned your head. [Outro] I'll sing for you... for another day. [End]
