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
