gerald finzi - budmouth dears lyrics

Loading...

when we lay where budmouth beach is
o, the girls were fresh as peaches
with their tall and tossing figures and their eyes of blue and brown!
and our hearts would ache with longing
as we paced from our sing+songing
with a smart clink! clink! up the esplanade and down

they distracted and delayed us
by the pleasant pranks they played us
and what marvel, then, if troopers, even of regiments of renown
on whom flashed those eyеs divine, o
should forget the countеrsign, o
as we tore clink! clink! back to camp above the town

do they miss us much, i wonder
now that war has swept us sunder
and we roam from where the faces smile to where the faces frown?
and no more behold the features
of the fair fantastic creatures
and no more clink! clink! past the parlours of the town?

shall we once again there meet them?
falter fond attempts to greet them?
will the g+y sling+jacket glow again beside the muslin gown?
will they archly quiz and con us
with a sideway glance upon us
while our spurs clink! clink! up the esplanade and down?
