[Verse 1: Velma Middleton]
To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That's my desire

[Verse 2: Velma Middleton]
To meet where gypsies play
Down in that dim cafe
And dance till break of day
That's my desire

[Bridge: Velma Middleton]
We'll sip a little glass of wine
I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your lips
Pressin’ on mine

[Verse 3: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
(I’m ready to go right now, baby)
Darlin’, I love you so
That's my desire, I’m gone Pops
(Come back here)
[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong, (Velma Middleton)]
To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
And ball it up with you
That's my desire (mine too)

[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong, (Velma Middleton)]
To meet where gypsies play
Down in that dim cafe
We’ll dance
That's my desire

[Bridge: Louis Armstrong, (Velma Middleton)]
We'll sip our little glass of wine
(Our little musky tail)
I'll gaze into your eyes divine
I'll feel the touch of your chops
All wrapped up amongst mine, very juicy

[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong, (Velma Middleton)]
You whisper low
Doggone, it's time to go (oh shucks!)
Darlin’, I love you so
That's my desire (that's my desire)

[Coda: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
Though you found someone new (scat)
I'll always love you (scat)
That's my desire (that's my desire)
