Angelina Petroleum I love, And have for a very long time Tho' I never had courage to tell her So I wrote down my feelings in rhyme I've to meet her tonight in the park, And while the iron's hot I will strike it She never acknowledged she loved me, But I think it looks very much like it Yes, I think it looks very much like it. Her hair falls in curls down her back And when at me she looks with her eyes In that sort of way you all know Then drops them again, and then sighs Her cheek looks so beautifully plump That sometimes I think I could bite it But that I'm afraid she'd object to At least I don't think she'd much like it Yes, at least I don't think she'd much like it. One night I went to her house Intending to take her a walk When I saw Angelina with a stranger Having a nice little talk I was in such a rage at the time With my cane I thought I should strike him She afterwards said 'twas her brother But I told her she wasn't much like him Yes, I told her she wasn't much like him. I seriously spoke to her after For at that time I certainly thought If she didn't quite know what was right I said that she ought to be taught She said she ne'er meant to deceive me If aught was wrong she would right it I don't say she tried to humbug me But I think it looked very much like it Yes, I think it looked very much like it. One thing about her I don't like That is she often will smoke And when I speak to her about it She says it is done for a joke From my case last night she took a weed And she knew the right way, too, to light it I don't say she's given to smoking But I think it looks very much like it Yes, I think it looks very much like it. By Jove tho' I must go, at once Or I'm certain that I shall be late For if I'm not there to my time Angelina will be in such a state For the kindness which you've shewn me I'll do my utmost to requite it I don't say you're going to applaud But I think it looks very much like it Yes, I think it looks very much like it. |
