If I'm on the Late Side

[Verse 1] If I'm late, darling Don't hesitate Just go without me And I'll see you there anyway If I miss you at the station I want you on that train [Verse 2] I don't want a sad sack 'Cause I'll be there, come what may Leave a message with the porter Or leave it at the gate Let me know that you're aboard her Just a word to know that you're safe (Wooh!) [Verse 3] I walked from Maryland to Silvertown I hoped to catch ya in the street I must have missed ya by a moment, dear I tried the place we always meet [Verse 4] So if I'm late, darling Don't hesitate – no, no Go on your own some And I'll catch you there, anyway I might lose some time, baby But, if I do I'll make amends in an hour When I'm laying down beside you [Outro] {*scatting and ad-libs*}
