Is plain to any bloke wiv common-sense.
But when the birds is nestin' in the spring, An' when the soft green leaves is in the bud, 'E drops 'is bundle to some fluffy thing. 'E pays 'er 'omage--an' 'is name is Mud. She plays wiv'im an' kids 'im on a treat, Until she 'as 'im crawlin' at 'er feet. An' then, when 'e's fair orf 'is top wiv love, When she 'as got 'im good an' 'ad 'er fun, She slings 'im over like a carst-orf glove, To let the other tarts see wot she's done. All vanity, deceit an' 'eartless kid! I orter known; an', spare me days, I did! I knoo. But when I looked into 'er eyes-- Them shinin' eyes o' blue all soft wiv love Wiv MIMIC love--they seemed to 'ipnertize. I wus content to place 'er 'igh above. I wus content to make of 'er a queen; An' so she seemed them days...O, 'struth!...Doreen! I knoo. But when I stroked 'er glossy 'air Wiv rev'rint 'ands, 'er cheek pressed close to mine, Me lonely life seemed robbed of all its care; I dreams me dreams, an' 'ope begun to shine. An' when she 'eld 'er lips fer me to kiss... Ar, wot's the use? I'm done wiv all o' this! |
