Valentine Song
Play MP3
S.W.A.L.K.
Whose go is it today?
Is it Marge, or is it Jane?
Better fink it art again
On the 14th day of February I gets all the quivers
When old postman Pat delivers
All me Valentines
For there’s Margery and Bessie
Mary, Jane and Jessie
Sally Jackson and her sister, and her Aunty Lil
Oh gawd, it’s hard to keep yer lovers
Findin’ art about de uvvers
So on the 14th day of February I fall ill
On the 14th day of February I gets congealin’ of me livers
When old postman Pat delivers
All me Valentines
For there’s Susan and Miranda
Anne-Marie, Yvonne and Sandra
Mona Lisa – if you please her –
And her best friend Sue
Oh gawd, it’s hard to keep yer lovers
Findin’ art about de uvvers
But if you take a tip from me I’ll tell you what to do
Vary your style of handwriting
Make all your verses nice
But don’t use the same rhyme, or the same pen twice
Keep yer lovers guessin’
For it can be quite distressin’
If they divide your blessins’ up, slice by slice
On the 14th day of February I gets the shakin’ and the shivers
When the Royal Mail delivers
All me Valentines
For there’s Sylvia and Annie
Anastasia and Fanny
Joan and Cynthia Ramsbottom, and their muvver, Clare
Oh gawd, it’s hard to keep yer lovers
Findin’ art about de uvvers
So on the 14th day of February do take care
Save your daffs and roses –
For they will count your crops –
Send ‘em different flowers, from lots of shops
Never make the blunder
Of thinkin’ they won’t wonder
Do not answer to your number
‘Neath your blanket stay well under
Do not risk being torn asunder –
You’re in paradise!
