Response to who wrote a poem that starts "In some secluded rendezvous that overlooks the avenue" It might be called Cocktails for two.

from ilza (ilza@pobox.com)
it is a song . Cocktails For Two Duke Ellington - words and music by Arthur Johnston and Sam Coslow

In some secluded rendezvous That overlooks the avenue With someone sharing a delightful chat Of this and that And cocktails for two

As we enjoy a cigarette To some exquisite chansonnette Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath A serviette With cocktails for two

My head may go reeling But my heart will be obedient With intoxicating kisses For the principal ingredient

Most any afternoon at five We'll be so glad we're both alive Then maybe fortune will complete her plan That all began With cocktails for two
