Pretty Greek Girl| Donated by a friend of the page. |
|
| Oh, Fmlisten to the story of a Greek romantic fool, |
| CmI fell in love with my teacher when I was at school. |
| But I G7knew our love could never be, she could not be mine, |
| For Cmshe was nearly 23, I was 39. |
|
| FmI went to my first dance, and I met sweet Mylene, |
| CmShe had the loveliest eyes that I have ever seen. |
| I G7said, "Within your lovely eyes I could live and die." |
| She Cmsaid, "The left one ought to suit you then, 'cause it's got a sty." |
|
| One Fmday I was as miserable as I have ever been, |
| I Cmwent into a phone box to try to get in touch with Jean. |
| A poG7liceman came and turned me out, I still can hear him yell, |
| Then he went Cmback into the phone box, and he turned her out as well. |
|
| She's got Fmeyes that glow like cigarettes, with ashtrays underneath, |
| And Cmwhen she bites her fingernails, her mother hides her teeth. |
| But she G7wouldn't let me marry Jean, she said it was because |
| She Cmthought I was effeminate, and compared with her I was. |
|
| So Fmcome, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me, |
| CmShine upon me as the golden sun shines on the sea. |
| G7Fill my lonely, eager arms with your sweet ecstasy, |
| Oh Cmcome, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me . . . |
|
| At this point, two Greek men, played by Nicholas Parsons and Bob Todd, rise from their respective tables, move in behind him, join him in a Greek dance and then they all exit stage right. |
