Lyrics A Sleepy Lagoon - Richard Tauber

A Sleepy Lagoon

you too girlie girlie
Young man you too girlie girlie
Him have one up here
One down there
One in Hannover
One down a vere.
One she’s a lawyer
One she’s a doctor
One wen dem work with a little contractor.
One down a east
One down a west
Him have one up north and two down south
One a sell cigarettes on the roundabout — lord.
Young man you too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie
Him have one go a school
One gawn fool fool
Him have one everytime me say she thinks a she rules
One she a nurse she say she come first
The other night them going out dem pick her new purse.
One a sell star
One work in a bar
A she can smile when the two a dem a spar
One gettie gettie
One frettie frettie
And him no drink no other milk but Betty.
You too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie
You too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie
Young man you too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie
Him have one up here
One down there
One a go a school and one fool fool.
You too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie
A big fat one who a go go dancer
A little slim one who’s a radio announcer.
One highty highty
One flighty flighty
And before him grow old he want one a North Pole.
One in a London
One in a Japan
One in a Scotland
One in a Finland
One in a Taiwan
One in a Iran
One in a Greenland
One in a Iceland.
One in Canada
One Uganda
One America
One Cuba
One Antigua
One Grenada
One a China
And one India.
One Bolivia
One Torguga
One a Ghana
One Ethiopia
One Russia
One Syberia
One a Syria
One Tanzania.
One Australia
One Aruba
One Asia
One Australia.
Young man you too girlie girlie
You jus a flash it round the worldie.
