I said, Of course

And she said,

"Glorious!"

But I rather think I like you better

And she said, "La! I hardly know what

To think!"

But you're always so good to me!

And she said, "I like it when you sing,

But sing me those words. You know the ones."

But if I sing the words I'll lose the meaning

And she laughed, "Darling, you couldn't

Lose a meaning if you tried!"

But I think you think too much of me.

And she said, "Oh never, but look I've got to go."

But don't forget those cigarettes.

And then she smiled and said, "Be sure to keep in touch, Ceci,

Okay?"
