Like you would.
Well I got up in the morning, Like you would.
And I cooked a bit of breakfast, Like you would
but at the door I stopped. For a message had been dropped,
and I picked it up, and read it, Like you would.
"Oh Blimey!" I said, Like you would,
"Have a read of this, This is good!"
It said: "I live across the way, and admire you every day,
And my heart, it breaks without you." Well, it would
It said: "I'd buy you furs and jewels, If I could,"
And I go along with that, I think he should,
It said: "Meet me in the Park, When it's good and dark,
And so me wife won't see, I'll wear a hood."
Oh, I blushed with shame and horror, Like you would,
That a man would ask me that, As if I could!
So I wrote him back a letter, saying "No, I think it's better,
if I meet you in the Dog and Duck like we did last Thursday."
