| Hello, Ethyl. Last night eh! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, hello, Mr. Rogers, could I speak to Ethyl please? Thank you. |
|
| Is that my darling Ethyl? |
| Is that the girl I held in my arms last night? |
| The little angel who filled with with warm delight? |
| Oh don't be like that Ethyl, I wasn't all that late, |
| Well you said be there at seven, I was there by 'alf past eight. |
|
| Well I went home to change my clothes, dear, |
| I thought I'd wear that suit that you always liked, |
| You know, the one I scrounged off your brother Mike. |
| And when at last I met you outside the Hippodrome, |
| I found that in my haste I'd gone and left my wallet home. |
|
| Well that is why you had to pay, dear, |
| Well you always have to pay to get in the flicks, |
| And I'm sorry that it cost you fourteen and six. |
| Oh you mean that blue-eyed blonde in red who sat down next to me, |
| Well I don't know who she was, love, it was far too dark to see. |
|
| Well I may have played footsie with her and squeezed her hand a bit, |
| But I done it quite subconscious, that's the side you always sit. |
|
| I didn't want to go out with her, |
| It's just that, my dear, as she got up to leave, |
| The broach that she was wearing caught on my sleeve. |
| No I went down to the kiosk to get you a bite to eat, |
| Well you said that you was hungry and you fancied something sweet. |
|
| What? Me flirt with the kiosk girl, oh don't be so unkind, |
| It's just that she had such a lot of nice things I couldn't make up my mind. |
|
| Well I knew we'd need enough to last with the big film yet to come, |
| And that's why it took so long to get that packet of chewing gum. |
|
| But when I took you back to my place, |
| Well I thought you'd like to meet the old Mom and Dad, |
| 'Cause you know you often said that you never had. |
| Well I tried to make you welcome so I poured you out a gin, |
| And it wasn't 'til then I realized that Mom and Dad were in. |
|
| But when I switched the light out, |
| Well I thought you said you wanted to watch TV, |
| And in the dark it's much easier to see. |
| Well I went and switched the light out and I sat next to you, my pet, |
| It was only then it occurred to me we never had a set. |
|
| Well I was trying to get the matches, |
| They was underneath the cushion on which you sat, |
| Oh you know I wouldn't do a thing like that! |

| Ethyl? Ethyl?! Oh, women! |
|
| (dials again) |
| Hello, Phoebe. Here, fancy a little tomorrow night? About seven. Yeah, bring your purse. No, not your brother, Perce. Look, I'll see you outside the pally. I'll see you inside the pally. |
