One Louder Solex

I think we would better tactfully put
An end to the evening now
A little kicking
Over the traces goes
A long way at this age
And we were both bundled
Up in nice tweeds and flannels
What she needed she couldn’t have
For all I knew she was stone-deaf
I said «front page»
She heard «teenage»
So I tried «read»
But she heard «sweet»
I think we would better tactfully put
An end to the evening now
A little kicking
Over the traces goes
A long way at this age
And we were both bundled
Up in nice tweeds and flannels
What she needed she couldn’t have
For all I knew she was stone-deaf
«There's a bag of
Sweets floating
Around somewhere
Let me see, I really
Had it with me
When I visited
The Grand Prix»
