Could never walk away from that girl
She's the only one in the world
She's the ruler of the table-top
She's no persnickety she's real persimmon
She's all I got
She's a pretty serene surrender
Unlike Chrissie she's no pretender
She's my coupe' dynaflow
She's no disguise and it's no surprise
She's all I know
Chorus
I said love gets really tough
That's when love beats me up
I don't own my own record player
I use her's it's just the same
We're getting so much more au fait(er)
She's soya chookin and I'm just lookin
At summer again
Chorus
Refrain
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Chorus
She wants to move my Monty picture
I've got a thing about where it goes
I think she wishes I was richer
Well I ain't too bad I'm fair to middling
Oh so - so
Well I ain't too bad I'm fair to middling
Oh so - so
Chorus x 2
