DUSTY
OLD HAT
This
is what it is like
The
violin dusty and rusty
Is
it time to play a new song?
Not
the ones from long ago
The
up to date
Are
you ready and willing to take that chance?
And
not take that long, long glance
You
sit here before me
You
sat here before me
We
did nothing about it
Just
meandered
With
our silent thoughts and feelings
No
screeching
No
harmonious playing a wondrous song
But
what now do you expect from me?
I
cannot do the same ole thing
It
has gone, done and dusted
But
here we sit and look
Both
violin and hat so decrepit
Do
we dust the off
Clean
them both off
Strike
up the new chords
Melodious
Oh
how I need the euphonious
Can
you, could you mellow?
Like
I have done so
Aged
though we are
My
dusty hat and violin
Are
so tuneful
It’s
an immeasurable love
Immersable
love
A
drowning love
There
is no going backwards
This
love will always go forwards
Can
you be ready to dust off that hat?
Can
you be ready to tweak your violin?
Both
of mine are ready and willing
Are
you all right with doing this
Cos
I’m ready
Ready
to swing
Ready
to sing
Cos
it’ll do for me
Are
you ready to leave that town?
That
ole swinging town
Where
swingers are no longer swinging
The
base so, so low
The
piano has lost its tune
Cos
it no longer suits my mode
The
singer lost his voice
You
and I have a choice
This
fool is in love once again
A
fool in love with you
Oh
why can you not see it!
Oh
boy dust off those blues
And
come and join this happy band
Everything
is here
For
your lady love
