ONE QUICK MARTINI
(John Phillips)

One quick martini, then I'll be on my way.
I'm tired of all this play.
Why don't we call it a day?
I had such a great time, doing the town with you,
But to thine own self be true.
I'm not in love. Are you?

{Let's not pretend that we're lovers
Meeting in some dim café.
Let's not pretend there aren't others
Making love in this same silly way.

But thanks for the flowers,
The scotch and the brandy too.
You knew the right thing to do.
Now it looks like we're through.} [repeat]

You see, I have another rendezvous.

[Recorded by The Journeymen on "New Directions in Folk Music" (1963). The Journeymen were Scott McKenzie, Dick Weissman, and John Phillips.]
