Dripping With Love On Valentine's Day
Mr. Langford owned a candy store that was slow all year round.
Except for Valentine's day when it was filled with spangled eyed lovers
coming in for sweets and armloads of red roses in the shape of hearts.
red as a cherry sweet as a berry
it was Valerie, Mary or Cheri
sherry on the ferry, roses from Gasperi
One day the truck did not deliver the flowers on time. Poor soul sat forlorn to think and before he knew it, he fell asleep. Into his dreams a Cupid came, snapped his fingers 1 2 3 , heartsie flowers everywhere.
Quick now don't you tarry
there are lots of girls to marry
Cupid worked his magic, light and airy
While a watchful eye went up the room was infused with a beautiful scent
Cupid old boy you did it again, now I can pay my rent...
Lany old boy its a trick I deploy
then he sang like a choirboy
a Cherub Pillsbury Doughboy
While the spangled eyed lovers came in once again. To buy sweets
and an armload of roses, dripping with love and little heart shaped buds
the whispered " I love you, do you love me too ?"
