Let's talk of people.
With character traits I love-
kind, gentle, funny.
Kind, gentle, funny,
Light-hearted, intelligent,
Attractive, chatty.
Attractive chatty
That girl could talk your ear off-
But listened as well.
But listened as well
As a friend possibly could
He was my solace
He was my solace
My port in a raging storm
With his quiet strength.
With his quiet strength
Superman moved the mountain
And saved the children.
And saved the children
How could he do otherwise?
Shouldn't that come first?
"Shouldn't that come first?"
"Shut up, I know what to do:
Cart before the horse."
Cart before the horse,
She said, and she put her heart
Before her course. Fool!
Before her course, fool
forgot to study and that
was her worst downfall.
Was her worst downfall
Forgetting to study or
Leaving that fine man?
Leaving that fine man?
Such was Mama's reaction
Little did she know...
Little did she know
That behind his big blue eyes
Lurked a real bastard
Lurked a real bastard
Who could sweet talk a stone post
And smile nice and neat
And smile nice and neat,
Speak when spoken to, curtsey
When addressing queens.
When addressing Queens ( "queens? Cor!)
I lower my tone of voice
And my knees wobble.
And my knees wobble
when he looks at me that way.
Where is a sofa....... bed?
Where is a sofa?
I feel so funny - think I
need ... psychiatrist!
oops, I admit to six syllables. So sorry.
Need.... psychiatrist.
Again, I dialed a number
and got the plumber.
And got the plumber
On a weekend? Miracle!
Him up there loves ya!
