Cherri tries to tell a story, but keeps getting interrupted!
lyrics
There once was a squire who met a young miss
He held her so close and then gave her a -
Bouquet of roses so lovely and red
That she took him by hand and then took him to -
Breakfast, where they both had coffee and eggs,
And when they were all done, she opened her -
Bag, but he said that she shouldn’t be crass.
He’d pay for their breakfast, he wanted her -
Sweet violets! Sweeter than the roses,
Covered all over from head to toe with sweet violets
The squire then said as they stood on the dock
That he'd be most pleased if she sat on his -
Cloak that he put on a wet, sticky patch
To protect all her assets and keep dry her -
Skirt which she gathered around her to sit
As the squire reached over and stroked her left -
Ear where he whispered she’d been worth the hunt
And he just couldn’t wait till she showed him her -
Sweet violets! Sweeter than the roses,
Covered all over from head to toe with sweet violets
Her father knew straight off his girl had been struck
By Cupid’s sharp arrow. He cried aloud -
“Squire, this Sunday my girl you must wed,
Then you can relieve her of her maiden -
Name, and you’ll give her a diamond, no jest,
Before you lay eyes or your hands on her -
Dowry. Don’t argue, to this point I'll stick!”
Said the lass, “Oh, no, father; I just want his -”
Sweet violets! Sweeter than the roses,
Covered all over from head to toe with sweet violets.
Sweet violets!
