The waiters turn the lights down low
The pianist's all set to go
But one guest lingers sadly
He'd give a fortune gladly
Just to listen to his favourite song
Hey Mr. Green, faith has been mean
Come on now, play my sweet old evergreen
Hey Mr. Green, just one more gin
To make me forget what might have been
Hey Mr. Green, you've heard and seen
Things that would fill up a whole magazine
The night is long, so one more song
Come on now and play me my sweet old evergreen
The pianist is tired and worn
He's played all night and now it's gone
He knows that ancient story
That fight for love and glory
Brought back by a sentimental song
Hey Mr. Green, faith has been mean
Come on now, play my sweet old evergreen
Hey Mr. Green, just one more gin
To make me forget what might have been
Hey Mr. Green, you've heard and seen
Things that would fill up a whole magazine
The night is long, so one more song
Come on now and play me our sweet old evergreen
Hey Mr. Green, you've heard and seen
Things that would fill up a whole magazine
The night is long, so one more song
Come on now and play me our sweet old evergreen
