____________________________

I want to tell you

I might as well do
about a girl I met back in May;
Her name is Rita
and you should see her

when she goes
ooh wakka doo wakka day.

She's got a brother

like any other
who got his nose caught inside a gate;
and when they freed him
it so relieved him

he just went
ooh wakka doo wakka day.

You wouldn't think
to look at me
that I was strong

but underneath it all
I really am;
and just to prove it why
only the other day
I picked a needle up with one hand

now up in Bradford
a chap named Radford

while taking part in a local play -
was intercepted
and then suspected
of going
ooh wakka doo wakka day-ay-ay-ay.

Who's that lady I saw you with ?
It was not your wife

it looked to me suspiciously.
Like someone I have never seen before in my life.
Do-do-do...

It's not surprising
when you come
to think of it

just what it is
that makes people swear.
you only have to sing
about bleepin' thing
and there'll be bleeping
ev'ry bleeping where.
Now if you love me
you're not above me

if you don't well
what can I say;
except we'll see
when you come to tea

then you can go
ooh wakka doo wakka day-ay-ay-ay
ooh wakka doo wakka ooh wakka doo wakka ooh-
wakka doo-wakka day.

»Clair«

(Raymond O'Sullivan)

_____________

Clair - the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see
But then, the moment I met you again
I knew in my heart that we were friends
It had to be so, it couldn't be no

But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why
You get to me in a way I can't describe
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child
Oh Clair, Clair

Clair - if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you in all that you do
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry
Each time I leave you I feel I could die
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
I'm going to marry you, will you marry me, uncle Ray?
Oh Clair, Clair

Clair - I've told you before don't you dare!
Get back into bed, can't you see that it's late
No, you can't have a drink
Oh alright then, but wait just a bit
While I in an effort to baby sit
Catch of my breath, what there is left of it
You can be murder at this hour of the day
But in the morning this hour will seem a lifetime away
Oh Clair, Clair - oh Clair
