Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Romeo and Juliet were the perfect lovers
They’re between book covers as a famous pair
Romeo and Juliet when they got together
To discuss the weather
They could not compare with
Chorus
Me and my Melinda, my Melinda and me
We are bound up together in sympathy
Me and my Melinda, we are seldom apart
On the nights when I feel like a heart to heart
When I’m blue we just sit there holding hands
And when we do my Melinda understands
When I’m having trouble that I cannot disclose
When I can’t tell the world of my private woes
Long before I tell her, my Melinda knows
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein.
