Mildred, Mildred

歌詞

Mildred, mildred, how I love you so, Remember the joke you told me While we had our midnight tea. That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life, I didn't tell you then 'cause I was drinking the tea. Alfred, now alfred, you used to call me so. And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop. That was the most sensible idea we had in our life, I didn't tell you then 'cause I was reading the papers. Mildred, oh, mildred, how I love you so, Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box. You kept trying to tell me something, something about your life, But I didn't hear you then 'cause I was watching the box. I bought a pot of plant now And I'm watering it ev'ry day. I watched the late night talk show And asked the man in a suit Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead. He didn't reply, No, he didn't reply at all. And I burnt the box the next morning And buried in our garden. Mildred, oh, mildred, how I miss you so, How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life. But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more And I hear the box still laughing in the next door apartment.
