frank fairfield - a courting song lyrics

write a loving letter, boy
with swoops and sweeps and curls
calligraphers are just the thing to help you win your girl
then you’ll need to dress up smart
the tailor’s here by chance
he’ll st-tch your trousers, hole your belt in fine couture of france
your shoes, my goodness, how they’re worn, but you’re too young to know
that nothing courts a woman’s scorn more than scuffs on the toe
the cobbler can attend to that
meanwhile, you must have cake
the baker and patissier need work, for goodness’ sake

hi dee diddly um de dum de day
what a merry time we’ll have upon your wedding day
hi dee diddly um de dum de day
there’s work for all when little boys get married

that pointy cone upon your head, you can’t be wearing that
the milliner will fix you up
with a proper high silk hat
the bride, of course, she’ll need a dress
on that we must agree
the seamstress, my young lover
oh, how grateful she will be
the rings, by gum, did i forget?
well that’s my favorite part
the vows, the whole romantic mess
now that’s a jeweler’s art
and so you see our handiwork
is yours if you’re inclined
but our livelihood’s at stake
so don’t you go and change your mind

hi dee diddly um de dum de day
what a merry time we’ll have upon your wedding day
hi dee diddly um de dum de day
there’s work for all when little boys get married
