Lyric

You came in late

Through the alley of my grin

With your hat in your hand

And your trouble tucked in

I was counting my sins

By the candle on the sill

Then you smiled like a scheme

And I bent to your will

Tiptoe, darling

Past the brass and the lace

Keep your secret

On the edge of my waist

Love through the back door

Slip, slide, and stay

Love through the back door

Steal me away

Back door moonlight

On your cuff and your cheek

Love through the back door

And I'm weak, I'm weak

Through the back door

Your laugh had a tango

With the glass in my hand

And the clarinet sighed

Like it knew our plan

You said, "Keep it quiet"

But your eyes were a spark

So I drew you a promise

In the middle of dark

Tiptoe, darling

Past the brass and the lace

Keep your secret

On the edge of my waist

Love through the back door

Slip, slide, and stay

Love through the back door

Steal me away

Back door moonlight

On your cuff and your cheek

Love through the back door

And I'm weak, I'm weak

Through the back door

Let the front room chatter

Let the whole town stare

We were built for the hidden

For the smoky air

One little keyhole

One reckless kiss

I was made for your entrance

And your double-dare bliss

Love through the back door

Slip, slide, and stay

Love through the back door

Steal me away

Back door moonlight

On your cuff and your cheek

Love through the back door

And I'm weak, I'm weak

Through the back door

Love through the back door

Bourbon and bloom

Love through the back door

Under Cabaret Moon

Under Cabaret Moon
