Shirley,
It's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
Shirley,
You're my reason to get out of bed before noon
Shirley,
You know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
Shirley,
What did you say about running before we were walkingSometimes when we're as close as this
It's like we're in a dream
How can you lie there and think of england
When you don't even know who's in the teamShirley,
Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
Shirley,
We are joined in the ideological cuddleI'm celebrating my love for you
With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
And if you haven't noticed yet
I'm more impressionable when my cement is wetPolitics and pregnancy
Are debated as we empty our glasses
And how I love those evening classesShirley,
You really know how to make a young man angry
Shirley,
Can we get through the night without mentioning familyThe people from your church agree
It's not much of a career
Trying the handles of parked cars
Whoops, there goes another year
Whoops, there goes another pint of beerHere we are in our summer years
Living on icecream and chocolate kisses
Would the leaves fall from the trees
If I was your old man and you were my missusShirley,
Give my greetings to the new brunette
