I'm Just A Barber From Seville-ABCDEFGH

Alfalfa- Darla, Darla, Darla...If you're a bird, I'm a bird.
 
Darla-   Oh Alfalfa, you are so sweet, but where would we fly to?
 
Alfalfa- Where? I'll tell you where...to the moon! You want the moon? Just say the word, and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. 

Darla-   Oh Alfalfa, tell me, was I the first girl you ever kissed? 

Alfalfa- Darla, I wanted it to be you, I wanted it to be you so badly. But my momma was the first girl that I ever kissed, and then my little sister. I'm so sorry, Darla. 

Darla-    Oh Alfalfa, you do know that love means never having to say you're sorry, right? 

Alfalfa- Darla, Darla, Darla...(gulping) You make me want to be a better man! 

Darla- Oh Alfalfa, would you ever leave me? 

Alfalfa- No Darla, I wish I knew how to quit you, but I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. 

Darla-   Oh Alfalfa, you truly warm my heart! 

Alfalfa- Darla, I'm the barber of Seville, but you make me want to be a better man! And Darla, you should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how!

Darla-    Oh Alfalfa, yes, I should...and that's exactly why I am going to the movies with Spanky tonight to see "Gone with the Wind"

Haha. So corny but fun to read. If he is barber of Seville , she may truly be gone with the wind. I love the name Alfalfa you chose.
