English Girl

Years ago in a silent world
 I fell in love with an English girl
 Her skin was clear and her mum wore pearls
 I fell in love with an English girl
 She asked me for an almond whirl
 I was obliged to the English girl
 And when I found the one she curled
 All round my neck, did the English girl
 But when the wrapper she unfurled
 "It's a little bit off," said the English girl
 Though disappointed, round she twirled
 Poise was a must for the English girl
 The sweet she binned, it was not hurled
 Slow motion for the English girl
 "How disappointing wanton her,"
 Said the diamond mouth of the English girl
 "I hoped for more," said the English girl
 So haggard and I don't mean more
 I wilted before the English girl
 And like a minx from Ronald's serve
 She flittered away, the English girl
 Years ago in a silent world
 I fell in love with an English girl
