|
Forgot about the new estate |

Forgot to bring the ruby car |
|
His wounds all swollen black as tar |
|
The news he had to fight |
|
Would be of no delight |
|
For her bright garden dress |
|
"Oh, please spare me |
|
With your distress!", she said |
|
"Honey, let's go to the park |
|

|
They'll never wrap me in a carpet |

Since I got shot down |
