From everyone who's anyone
Looking through the window,
The girl sat and sighed,
With the rain gently falling down,
Slowly turning her head away…she cried.
It can’t be my destiny,
To be here alone,
Surely my prince will appear
She dreamed, to place me on a throne
But little did she know
Just a few miles away
The man of her dreams
Was swiftly heading her way
With a knock on the door
Her heart jumped a mile
She rushed down and stared
And let out a heartfelt smile...
Could it be true?
Was it really him?
Was 'he' the prince?
Should she ask him in?
He was tall and fair,
Handsome and kind,
Why was he here?
I couldn't tell, I didn't mind
From Margaret Gibbins to John
I opened the door, what a sight to behold
I saw my knight, in armour of gold.
A trick of the light? or daydream come true?
I couldn't be sure but I thought it was you.
My heart skipped a beat, my feelings were stirred
Could this be love? Why! that is absurd.
He stepped throught the door, I fell in his arms
I succombed to his taste, I sucombed to his charms
It was you I know, 'though its all in a haze
You left me too soon, my feelings ablaze
I need you right now, my needs are too much.
I want you for love, I desire your touch.
My heart is on fire, my limbs they do ache
My eyes are asleep yet my soul is awake.
Come with me, my darling, step into my life
For you, and no other, I'll be your wife.
As I opened the door just a crack more to see
He smiled such a smile, and my heart jumped with glee
Oh my, I was thinking, this is it, such romance
Then I noticed his steed munching on my prize plants.
Oh no, not my dahlias, my glads and my tulips
I pushed past my beau, as he puckered his two lips
I shot to the garden and flew at the mule
"Get off my petunias, you stomping great fool"
I've been growing these plants for a great many years
Too long to rest now, I spluttered through my tears
Oh look at my croci, all mashed up to hell
And you, at the stranger, next time use the bell!
as long as he had
a heart that was true
it was all that she needed
she needed a clue
she couldn't take chances
she had been hurt before
her heart was willing
but she felt unsure
as long as he had
a heart that was true
it was all that she needed
she needed a clue
she couldn't take chances
she had been hurt before
her heart was willing
but she felt unsure
From Knuddline to Knuddelviech
You are even in the rain my sunshine and my angel,
the one who keeps me alive
Oh forget about flowers
Oh forget about fear
My resolve is now strengthened
By a gallon of beer
Open the door
Let me into your heart
You cannot forsake me
And break me apart
She did not believe
His troth was true
And trusted no man
who came to woo
Her, but his smile
Was not the same
As the bounders
Who often came
To plead devotion
And leave her with
No trace of emotion
Once they knew
They could not match
The type of man she
Wanted to catch
