Your hot coffee and my black tea, I don't know about that, Oh I guess we choose to disagree, But I like your pork pie hat, Your sister always came between us, Claiming she knew best, But she hitched her wagon to a diplomat And moved to Bucharest, While we just go around and round, Like a dull thud in a bell Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell, Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell Peddlers filled the New York streets, Selling watches from a tray, The thief in you said, “it's no sin, Hell they stole ‘em anyway”, We were living cheap in an old hotel, Eating rice and beans, Staying up late talking politics With a couple of Times Square queens, But we just turned the heat up on The stories we could tell Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell, Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell An island somewhere in the sun Was always on my mind, But you tanned from the inside out, Drinking cocoa butter wine, While you sold your past like Baptist fire, I was making plans to leave, But you trapped me as that ball just fell On another New Year's Eve, So I gave it up for what it's worth And crawled into your shell Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell, Oh I can't say I ever liked you much, But you're my kind of hell
