The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and L.A. Rose for December 28, 2022

That’s our Lila, bless her little ole heart.

Hey, buddy do you got the time?

No I don’t got a watch can you spare a dime,

But I got two olives and a couple of limes,

Guessin’ that means it’s martini time.

Tee Martoonis at bunch with the loss,

I didn’t even ask or care what they cost,

I lost my job for no reason or rhyme,

Guessin’ that means it’s martini time.

Martini time (vodka ice shaker!),

Martini time (olive or lime!),

Martini time (gotta have glasses!),

Make it with a layer of ice this time.

Dirty, dry up, or in between,

From the very first sip you know what I mean,

When you’re out with a babe you don’t nickel or dime,

Guessin’ that means it’s martini time.

Martini time (vodka ice shaker!),

Martini time (olive or lime!),

Martini time (gotta have glasses!),

Make it with a layer of ice this time.

It’s martini time.

I live my life for a layer of ice

Just like those poured by my bartender vice

Any taste of vermouth would be really sublime,

When you have a good martini time!

It’s Martini time (vodka ice shaker!),

Martini time (olive or lime!),

Martini time (gotta have glasses!),

Perfectly poured and top of the line.

It’s martini time

It’s martini time

If you want to save money, Lila, you could stop buying those $7 coffee drinks.

That’s too obvious.

Olives, make the difference!
