Lyrics
- You’re taking such good care of me
I’m not inclined to set you free
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To win a kindly word from you
Oh, very well, then, I’ll admit
I like you just a tiny bit
When first I saw your face I vowed
You were the dearest Dash the crowd!
Refrain
It’s nice and warm I think that
We shall have a lovely day
Very, very warm for May
Eighty in the shade, they say
Just fancy! It almost looks as though
The sun had really come to stay
Oh, what very charming weather
- Thank goodness, they have gone away
I’ve something I should like to say
I want to hear it, I confess
I’m sure that I could never guess
It’s all the world to me, although
The answer’s simply “yes” or “no”
You haven’t made it very plain
Oh bother! Here they are again!
