[Verse 1] Silk on her shoulders Feather in her hair Anna’s at the doorway Smoke curling in the air She winks at the hat-check Tips the band in gold This little hidden hallway Is hers to run and hold [Chorus] ’Cause Anna runs the room Babe She calls every tune Girls in satin crowd the floor Swaying under that pale moon Anna runs the room Babe Smile sharp as a knife She’ll steal your girl at midnight And still thank you for the night [Verse 2] She leans on the piano Red lips close to mine Laughing at the fellows Cutting in the line Dancing with the ladies Hand on a narrow waist She spins them like a secret Too sweet to ever waste [Chorus] ’Cause Anna runs the room Babe She calls every tune Girls in satin crowd the floor Swaying under that pale moon Anna runs the room Babe Eyes daring and bright She’ll steal your girl at midnight And still thank you for the night [Bridge] [Band drops to a hush Just piano and bass] The coppers all come knocking Asking “Who owns this place?” She lights a match Just smiling Says “Gentlemen Have a taste” Women toast in the shadows No one’s hiding who they are Anna lifts her glass and whispers “We’re the queens of this dark little star” [Chorus] Anna runs the room Babe She calls every tune Girls in satin crowd the floor Still swaying past the moon Anna runs the room Babe Name lit up in light She’ll steal your girl at midnight And keep her till daylight
