TRAVELING

TRAVELING

I'll wine you, I'll dine you, I'll buy you pretty things,
bracelets, lockets, and some diamond rings,
then take you to movies, to any place you want to go,
and I'll do this, because I love you so,
let's go to Paris, or good old London town,
go see the Queen and her royal crown
maybe to China or even Japan,
I want to take you to every place I can,
to show you off, to this world all around,
then come back to New York City, and ride the underground,
down to Miami, fly to Mexico,
sail around the world , because I love you so,
stop off in Tahiti, where the trade winds gently blow,
the go to Hawaii, where your always on the go,
we'll have a luau, there you'll get a lei,
ukeles are playing, grass skirts are swaying,
I love the way that Hawaiians play,
on down to Rio where they have the Festival,
up to Mardi Gras, that is the best of all,
always someplace new, always on the go,
going the world over because I love you so,
let's go to the land down under,and stay there a month or two,
darling is it any wonder, that I'm so in love with you,
I remember the day that I first saw you, it was on an early monday morn,
my heart said she's the one, since the day you were born,
it took a long time to meet you, because I was kind of shy,
since the time I got to greet you, you've been the apple of my eye,
finally dragged you to the preacher, where we both said I Do,
found out that you were a teacher, it isn't any wonder, why I love you.
