No. 26 - Song - Cunningham - Hey Diddle-diddle, when man is in love
Cunningham: | He's longing to marry a dear little bride, So beautiful, charming and supple, That people will say as he walks at her side, By Jove! What a good-looking couple! But won't he be wild when he knows that we dare To laugh at his amorous folly, Because we intend to take jolly good care He doesn't get married to Molly! For hey, diddle, diddle! when man is in love He thinks that he's lucky all others above To wed such a squeezable Sit on your knees-able Dear little dutiful duck of a dove, such a dear little duck of a dove. |
Chorus: | Yes, hey, diddle, diddle! when man is in love He thinks that he's lucky all others above To wed such a squeezable Sit on your knees-able Dear little dutiful duck of a dove, such a dear little duck of a dove. |
Cunningham: | So come where the banquet is lavishly laid Our welcome is sure to be hearty; We'll learn from the lips of some quaint little maid The joys of a Japanese party! For dashing young sailors there's always a charm For flirting with short or with tall ones; I know I can do with a girl on each arm, And two on my knees if they're small ones! For hey, diddle, diddle! when man is in love He thinks that he's lucky all others above To wed an embraceable Pat on the face-able Dear little dutiful duck of a dove. such a dear little duck of a dove. |
Chorus: | Yes, hey, diddle, diddle! when man is in love He thinks that he's lucky all others above To wed an embraceable Pat on the face-able Dear little dutiful duck of a dove, such a dear little duck of a dove. |
