Here are the lyrics Mick linked to:

Dinner for One Please James
(words and music by Michael Carr, 1935)

Dinner for one please, James,
Madam will not be dining.
Yes, you may bring the wine in,
Love plays such funny games.

Dinner for one please, James,
Close Madam's room, we've parted.
Please, don't look so downhearted,
Love plays such funny games.

Seems my best friend told her of another.
I had no chance to deny.
You know there has never been another,
Someday she'll find out the lie.

Maybe she's not to blame,
Leave me with silent hours.
No, don't move her favorite flowers,
Dinner for one please, James.

One shortcoming of fakebooks is that they rarely include the verse. And as Mick explains in different words, "the verse" is different from "the verses." "The verse" is an introduction, almost a recitative in style. I can never get the melody of the verse down for most of thse songs, so I skip it.
