For old times sake

Went out with a guy, my oh my I was

Set up for a date with my cousin’s mate

His hair was blond and thick and curly

He took me out on a date to celebrate

But we were back home again fairly early

It was a time when I was just a young teen

He made sure to take care of me: surely

One night we went out: were bored silly mate

Said he would have had more fun with the guys

That surely was not a good way to woo me

We broke up after a few months because

We just didn’t get on that well: yes really!

Many years later on I said we’d catch up

For old time’s sake: I made that short journey

I was to meet him that day along the way

But I was caught by up by a girl we both knew

She was very upset at the thought: yes truly!

That this meeting might come to aught

So she warned me that I was not welcome: really!

Her name I forget but you can bet she was

Hoping to keep him closely tied to her!

Told me in no uncertain terms to beat it!

As I recall she was Chicky Chook’s sister

Yes that’s right: she had a crush on him: surely!

So though I was ready: I let her go on: steady

And left without even backward glance

But I didn’t mind: as I am one of a kind

So I walked up that street: never to meet

Again my ex with his curly blond locks: yes truly!
