which describes the curious properties
of a nauseatingly sweet wine
entitled

Have Some Madeira Madeira.
F
I think I crimped my Dr.
Scholl's foot pad.

his cigar, and the lamps,

Bb
Have some Madeira, my dear.

C
I'm not trying to tempt you,
that wouldn't be right.
One should not take spirits
Bb
Have some Madeira, my dear.

It's ever so much nicer than beer.
F
Bb
Now I don't care for sherry,

and one cannot drink stout.
C
F
And port is a wine I could well do without.
Bb
F
Bb
It's really a case of Shakas on gout.

one more notch on the butt of his gold -handled cane,

Have some Madeira, Madeira
C
It's really an excellent year
F
Bb
Now if it were gin,
Eb
you'd be wrong to say
C
Yes, the evil jinn does
F
would be hard to assess.
And besides,
Bb
F
Bb
it's inclined to affect me prowess.
G

Have some Madeira, my dear.

as she fought to take breath
