Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady
Who confess that she so love me
Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady
Who then confess that she so love me
She said: "Dear I'm all alone at home tonight
You can visit while me grandmother gone out of sight
But later on when I want to hug and kiss
With the tie tongue language she saying this
It's twenty-five to twelve get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o clock
It's twenty-five to twelve get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o clock
Well friends now let me tell you I'm a man of passion
When a pagan beauty catch me eye
This lovely flower bud she set me teeth a nascent
When I see her Lord I'm warm inside
But on the sofa I decide to sneak a small caress
Later on maybe try a little stupidness
She push me back, she start to break away
In the same tie tongue language again she say
It's 20 to twelve please get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o clock
25 to, no 20, 20 to twelve get up Harry
Well by this time I really was exasperated
What a manner of rejecting me
I tell you out of all the things the Lord created
De woman make the worse calamity
On the sofa again I tried to sneak a kiss
Later on to convince her of some greater bliss
Right away but in a voice not quite so strong
She start to sing she tie tongue song
A quarter to 12 Harry get up Harry
Me grandmother coming I tell you honey
A quarter to 12 Harry get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o clock
Now friends you know a man he should not be frustrated
When chasing some dilatability
But I know this problem never will be eliminated
Until I'm reaching my senility
By this time I can see that she is getting weak
Me blood pressure rising to the danger peak
When I feel the romance coming soon
Right away she crooning the tongue tie tune
10 to 12 Harry get up me Grandmother darlin' she coming 12 o clock
Harry it's 10 to 12 now come on get up Harry
Well right away me brain we see the revelation
How to make the fruit fall off the tree
If I want a chance to integrate me situation
I got to talk some other talk for she
Right away marriage talk was coming out me mouth
She smiled the conquest is no long in doubt
But before she reach insanity,
With the last chance whisper she telling me
It's 12 o clock Harry, Harry, Harry it's 12 o clock,
Harry it's 12 o clock and me grandmother coming
Ha, Ha, Ha Hallo granny I want you to met me friend Harry
