xiphophilos 7th Apr 2018		A side: Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. She is sorry to be delayed, But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, Madam, She ran to the man who lead her so far astray, And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her lover down, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, Madam, They strung her to the willow across the way. And the moment before she died, She lifted up her lovely head and cried, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. Miss Otis regrets... she's unable to lunch today...



xiphophilos 7th Apr 2018		B side: It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue, It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you. I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast!" And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last." We seemed to float right through the air, Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere. And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue, I'll always remember that moonglow gave me you. It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue, It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you. I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast!" And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last." We seemed to float right through the air, Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere. And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue, I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you.



slholzer 17th Feb 2018		This disc was first issued bearing the so-called Sunburst blue Decca label. The illustrated label replaced the "Sunburst" design in 1937.
