Tonight - Open Season

it was yesterday, when she called me â she called me up for a date

and this is what she told me: â «we meet exactly at eight!»

people let me tell you the truth now: â today i feel so fine!

but what i have to do now â is to be there right in time.

tonight i have a date â tonight i have a date

tonight i have a date â and she told me not to be late

so what i do, i go downtown â that’s where i meet my friend

he says: âforget that woman!

â i take you to calypso-land!

â

he’s taking me to a disco â and i’m sure to stop before eight.

but after all the calypso â it is ten and i am late!

tonight i had a date â tonight i had a date

tonight i had a date â and she told me not to be late
