Ramblings

In these days of the social medias
Dating can be very tedious
If she’s got you right over a barrel
It’s no use to quote Lewis Carroll
‘cos the poet of them all
Who is certain to get them all merry
Is the poet they recall
As the scholarly Derry down Derry

Brush up your Lear
Learn every rhyme
Brush up your Lear
She’ll be yours each time

If they’re looking at you kinda dubious
That’s when you gotta be scroobious
When she tells you she thinks you are weird
Tell ‘em ‘bout the Old Man with a Beard
And if they declare that you’re wrong
Just give ‘em a sight of your Dong

Brush up your Lear
Even though they all said he was queer
Brush up your Lear
And guys, you’ll have nothing to fear

If they say that you sing out of tune
Knock ‘em down with your runcible spoon
And if she won’t join in your congas
Feed her up with a plate of amblongus
When she asks you “what are you looking at?”
Say you’re browsing the Owl and the Pussy Cat

Brush up your Lear
Learn every rhyme
Brush up your Lear
She’ll be yours each time

Brush up your Lear
Learn every rhyme
Brush up your Lear
She’ll be yours each time
