The Red Parasol

Oh shaded beauty on the beach
who brings such classic elegance  
your lovely smile puts yonder lighthouse in the shade

such exquisite beauty sat beside the sea
so picture perfect , so resplendent in pink
Oh shaded beauty on the beach

such delightful poise and so pleasing to the eye 
such natural beauty so bewitched am I !
your lovely smile puts yonder lighthouse in the shade 

like  the fabled mermaid siren she draws me   
no parasol can possibly shade such a vision as she
Oh shaded beauty on the beach

this blooming English rose besides the sea  
a creature of the purest beauty
your lovely smile puts yonder lighthouse in the shade
 
the lady with the parasol sat by the sea
now if only you would see how much I wish you would marry me 
Oh shaded beauty on the beach
your lovely smile puts yonder lighthouse in the shade
