Esther Phillips - Cupid's Boogie

{Verse 1: Little Esther}
Hey Mr Cupid, step into my life
I met a fine cat and I just got to be his wife

{Chorus}
Cupid don’t let me down this mornin’
Things will be okay
If you’ll just help me get
This fine, mellow man today

{Verse 2: Little Esther}
Pull down the shades, turn down the lights
Make him sit here by my side and hold me tight

{Chorus}
Cupid don’t let me down this mornin’
Things will be okay
If you’ll just help me get
This fine, mellow man today

{Verse 3: Mel Walker}
Well pretty baby, I might as well confess
Without you I can’t find my happiness

{Chorus}
Baby don’t let me down this mornin’
Things will be okay
Let’s get the ring
And tie the knot today

{Verse 4: Little Esther}
I want a diamond ring, fine frills that cling
A chicken shack ’n’ a Cadillac

{Chorus}
Ooh wee, take it easy baby
Things will be okay
Well, let’s get the ring
And tie the knot today

{Verse 5: Mel Walker}
Real early every morning, I want you on the spot
Breakfast on the table and coffee in the pot

{Chorus}
Oh oh, I knew there was a catch to it
But everything will be okay
Well, let’s get the ring
And tie the knot today

{Verse 6: Mel Walker}
One thing baby, I’ve gotta be the boss
And don’t you ever pull no double cross

{Chorus}
There won’t be no days like that
I’ve got news for you
I’m the captain of the ship
And you’re just a member of the crew

{Outro}
(Oh baby, don’t be like that)
Are you kidding?
Both: let’s get the ring
And tie the knot today
