I know a petite blonde
Of whom I’m rather fond.
Being in search of romance
I asked her to dance
And we waltzed in her garden pond …

But she pushed me into the pond!
There was a young lady of Harwich
Who entered into marriage
With a sailor called Lee.
And when he went to sea
I comforted that young lady of Harwich …

Who entered into marriage
With a man called Hope,
But being unable to cope
She escaped with me in my carriage …

Who wore a very short frock.
A tourist called Paul
Fell off a wall
At the shock of that very short frock!

Said “angels will fall
At the sight of that very short frock!”.
There was a young lady from Bangkok
Who did my poetry mock.
So I brought down a curse
In the form of a verse
While drunk on spirits and hock!

Who said “your wish is my command”.

Who did my front door unlock.
It was after midnight
And by the star’s bright light
We drank a bottle of Hock.

For poetical girls in Bangkok”.

Who was a romantic Tory.

Who had very long blonde hair.
At nesting time
I wrote a rhyme
For the birds that nested there …
I know a young lady called Lou
Who composed a poem about a shoe,
As my good friend Jane
Cudgeled her brain
Over her husband’s missing shoe …
There was a young lady called Lou
Who composed a poem about a shoe.
While drunk on cheap wine
All seemed fine
And now I have her shoe …
