There is a place down in Soho Where women don't go and only men know The band plays cool but the music is hot And the girl at the door is telling every big shot Mister Blitzer, how do you do? Champagne is on ice and I am waiting for you Mister Blitzer, what do you say? This lady keeps you company 'till you go away Mister Blitzer Mister Blitzer The prettiest girl was Maria for sure A gypsy princess in every dress that she wore Nobody knew where she came from But only her smile made the men come Mister Blitzer, how do you do? Champagne is on ice and I am waiting for you Mister Blitzer, what do you say? This lady keeps you company 'till you go away Mister Blitzer Mister Blitzer And Maria was dancing like she never had done Completely in trance and everyone was clapping hands It was as if they were Gypsies round the fire looking at her And she was dancing And she was dancing Mister Blitzer Mister Blitzer Then I saw the man, he stood at the door His black eyes were staring at the girl on the floor And suddenly I understood why He stepped on the floor and said: "Maria, goodbye" And the shot thundered in my ears I flew to the door, thinking: "Get out of here" All through Soho I ran and I ran I will never return, would say never again Mister Blitzer, how do you do? Champagne is on ice and I am waiting for you Mister Blitzer, what do you say? This lady keeps you company 'till you go away Mister Blitzer Mister Blitzer Mister Blitzer, how do you do? Champagne is on ice and I am waiting for you Mister Blitzer, what do you say? This lady keeps you company 'till you go away
