He Wooed Her and Wooed Her - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
He was a lad in his twenties [00:00:07]
She was a girl in her teens [00:00:11]
The time it was when there was spring in the air [00:00:14]
And ev'ryone knows what that means [00:00:17]
Without any doubt he decided[00:00:20]
That she was the one in his life [00:00:23]
So he knelt on his right knee and twisted his left [00:00:26]
And asked her if she'd be his wife [00:00:30]
Oh he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her [00:00:33]
She wouldn't say "yes" there and then [00:00:38]
'Cause her mother had said she was much too young [00:00:41]
So he wooed her and wooed her again [00:00:45]
He was a lad in his thirties [00:00:49]
She in her twenty-third year [00:00:52]
He still loved the girl [00:00:55]
But she still answered "no"[00:00:57]
So he dropped a strong silent tear [00:00:58]
And when he was passing his forties [00:01:02]
She said "I want you for my own [00:01:05]
Which would break Mother's heart now[00:01:08]
If I were to wed [00:01:10]
And she'd hate to be left all alone "[00:01:11]
So he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her [00:01:14]
She wouldn't say "yes" there and then [00:01:19]
'Cause her mother had said she was much too young [00:01:23]
So he wooed her and wooed her again [00:01:26]
He was a lad in his sixties [00:01:30]
She was about fifty-three [00:01:34]
And he was still crazy to wed but her ma[00:01:37]
Still warbled "The Isle of Capri "[00:01:40]
And when he had grown to the eighties [00:01:43]
He told her that he'd done his best [00:01:47]
And although he'd been faithful for sixty-nine years [00:01:50]
He was only a man like the rest [00:01:54]
Still he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her [00:01:57]
She wouldn't say "yes" there and then [00:02:03]
'Cause her mother had said she was much too young [00:02:06]
So he wooed her and wooed her again [00:02:09]
He was a hundred and twenty [00:02:13]
She about hundred and four [00:02:18]
And he had entirely given up hope [00:02:21]
Till her ma went and married once more [00:02:25]
At last the girl said she would wed him [00:02:28]
And though it may sound very weird [00:02:32]
For the poor stork had waited for so many years[00:02:35]
That it flew down the flue with a beard [00:02:39]
Oh he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her [00:02:43]
She didn't say "no" any more [00:02:48]
So he cuddled and kissed and he wooed he did [00:02:52]
As he never had wooed her before[00:02:55]
