A Courting Song
Write a loving letter, boy With swoops and sweeps and curls Calligraphers are just the thing to help you win your girl Then you'll need to dress up smart The tailor's here by chance He'll stitch your trousers, hole your belt in fine couture of France Your shoes, my goodness, how they're worn, but you're too young to know That nothing courts a woman's scorn more than scuffs on the toe The cobbler can attend to that Meanwhile, you must have cake The baker and patissier need work, for goodness' sake
Hi dee diddly um de dum de day What a merry time we'll have upon your wedding day Hi dee diddly um de dum de day There's work for all when little boys get married
That pointy cone upon your head, you can't be wearing that The milliner will fix you up With a proper high silk hat Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The bride, of course, she'll need a dress On that we must agree The seamstress, my young lover Oh, how grateful she will be The rings, by gum, did I forget? Well that's my favorite part The vows, the whole romantic mess Now that's a jeweler's art And so you see our handiwork Is yours if you're inclined But our livelihood's at stake So don't you go and change your mind
Hi dee diddly um de dum de day What a merry time we'll have upon your wedding day Hi dee diddly um de dum de day There's work for all when little boys get married
