Darling This Will Never Do

I just bought a gold plated kazoo

I’ve been so foolish since I met you

I knew your mother, your father too

Darling this will never do

I thought my poor heart was on the blink

Now it’s cartwheeling into the pink

And I’m doing that old soft shoe

Darling this will never do

I lived a lifetime before we met

Paramours umpteen

But now I’m eager to forget what’s been

For what’s going to be

What of the future my old friends say

What if love goes bad?

But this September come what may

Believes in this beautiful dream

J’ai envoyé tout plein de billets doux

Au mon pauvre parvenu

Maintenant c’est un amour fou

Darling this will never do

It’s that terrible old taboo

Darling this will never do
