SouthTheBayou - Strings & Ivory Lyrics

How do you do, I'm pleased to meet
Rich in love but too poor for a ring, that's me
(I haven't seen her in years)
It's been a bitter cold winter hardly any degrees
But that Slavic kid sure can play those keys, indeed
(How could a smile stir up such fear)

You've been all alone for far too long
There, holding up the wall
It's time we tore it down

Get up and dance to the strings and ivory
The proof goes in and truth starts shining out, shining out
A little romance never hurt nobody
If chivalry's dead baby my breed's dying out

I think if you were a fruit you'd have to be
A honeydew you want to dance with me, I tease
(That was a terrible pick-up line)
She said,"To tell you the truth you're not the worst I've seen
And I've been waiting all night for you to sweep me off my feet"
(I guess I take that back, never mind)

You've been all alone for far too long
There, looking at your phone
It's time to put it down

Get up and dance to the strings and ivory
The proof goes in and truth starts shining out, shining out
A little romance never hurt nobody
If chivalry's dead baby my breed's dying out

You've been all alone for far too long
There, holding up the wall
It's time we tore it down

Get up and dance to the strings and ivory
The proof goes in and truth starts shining out, shining out
A little romance never hurt nobody
If chivalry's dead baby my breed's dying out
