A Courting Song |
| Write a loving letter, boy |
| With swoops and sweeps and curls |
| Calligraphers are just the thing to help you win your girl |
| Then you’ll need to dress up smart |
| The tailor’s here by chance |
| He’ll stitch your trousers, hole your belt in fine couture of France |
| Your shoes, my goodness, how they’re worn, but you’re too young to know |
| That nothing courts a woman’s scorn more than scuffs on the toe |
| The cobbler can attend to that |
| Meanwhile, you must have cake |
| The baker and patissier need work, for goodness' sake |
| Hi dee diddly um de dum de day |
| What a merry time we’ll have upon your wedding day |
| Hi dee diddly um de dum de day |
| There’s work for all when little boys get married |
| That pointy cone upon your head, you can’t be wearing that |
| The milliner will fix you up |
| With a proper high silk hat |
| The bride, of course, she’ll need a dress |
| On that we must agree |
| The seamstress, my young lover |
| Oh, how grateful she will be |
| The rings, by gum, did I forget? |
| Well that’s my favorite part |
| The vows, the whole romantic mess |
| Now that’s a jeweler’s art |
| And so you see our handiwork |
| Is yours if you’re inclined |
| But our livelihood’s at stake |
| So don’t you go and change your mind |
| Hi dee diddly um de dum de day |
| What a merry time we’ll have upon your wedding day |
| Hi dee diddly um de dum de day |
| There’s work for all when little boys get married |
