He had what you might
|
call a trivial occupation
|
he cleaned the platforms
|
of the local railway station
|
with no romance in his life
|
sometimes he wished
|
he had a wife
|
he read the matrimonial
|
advertising pages
|
the cries for help
|
from different people
|
different ages
|
but they had nothing to say
|
at least not until the day
|
when something special he read
|
this is what it said
|
|
"If you dream
|
of the girl for you
|
then call us and get
|
two for the price of one
|
we're the answer
|
if you feel blue
|
so call us and get
|
two for the price of one"
|
|
He called the number
|
and a voice said "Alice Whiting"
|
the voice was husky
|
and it sounded quite exciting
|
he was amazed at his luck
|
the purest streak of gold he'd struck
|
he said, "I read your ad
|
it sounded rather thrilling
|
I think a meeting could be
|
mutually fulfilling
|
why don't we meet for a chat
|
the three of us in my flat
|
I can't forget what I read
|
this is what it said"
|
|
"If you dream
|
of the girl for you
|
then call us and get
|
two for the price of one
|
we're the answer
|
if you feel blue
|
so call us and get
|
two for the price of one"
|
|
She said "I'm sure
|
we must be perfect
|
for each other
|
and if you doubt it
|
you'll be certain
|
when you meet my mother"
