'Ear wot I've to say, 'ear wot I've to say Alice, only say you will 'ear wot I've to say Listen to a song I'll sing yer. If I takes yer for a walk, or I listens to yer talk My nut gets in a bloomin' whirl I'm as proud as I can be, you're too nice a girl for me You ought to wed a dook or hearl Though I sez it, don't yer 'anker for a toff Mine's the sort of love it ain't no good to scoff Lor, my 'eart would break if you said, 'Bill, it's off' My 'eart would break if you said 'Off.' 'Ear wot I've to say, 'ear wot I've to say Alice, only say you will 'ear wot I've to say Listen to a song I'll sing yer. Get no 'igh falutin' notions in't yer 'ead You're the only gal as I should like to wed Don't go off and marry someone else instead You won't do that, Oh promise me you won't do that. Oh, tain't fair to lark about, when a poor young cove's in doubt Do listen cos I'm talkin' straight Let me 'ave yer answer now, if it's 'No' then I must bow A cussin' of my crooil fate From the first time as I saw yer my love grew Other blokes may come and swear as they'll be loyal true All they offer may turn out to be a 'do' Peace, 'appiness and all a 'doo.' 'Ear wot I've to say, 'ear wot I've to say Alice, only say you will 'ear wot I've to say Listen to a song I'll sing yer. You've 'ad lots of time to fink, all I arst's a lovin' wink I don't want no speeches grand You can do it if yer try, you 'ave sich an artful eye Just wink an' I shall understand But be careful, Alice, do be careful, mind I don't want to fink 'as 'ow yer wink's unkind Don't wink unless yer feel inclined. 'Ear wot I've to say, 'ear wot I've to say Alice, only say you will 'ear wot I've to say Listen to a song I'll sing yer. |
