They were sitting side by side,
And he sighed, and then she sighed.
Said he : "My darling idol"
And he idled, and then she idled.
He said: "You are creation's belle."
And she bellowed, and then he bellowed,
"On my soul there's such a weight,"
And he waited, and then she waited.
"Your hand I ask, so bold I'm grown,"
And he groaned, and then she groaned.
"You shall have your private gig,"
And he giggled, and then she giggled.
Said she: "My dearest Luke—"
And he looked, and then she looked.
"I'll have thee, if thou wilt"
And he wilted, and then she wilted.
And he sighed, and then she sighed.
Said he : "My darling idol"
And he idled, and then she idled.
He said: "You are creation's belle."
And she bellowed, and then he bellowed,
"On my soul there's such a weight,"
And he waited, and then she waited.
"Your hand I ask, so bold I'm grown,"
And he groaned, and then she groaned.
"You shall have your private gig,"
And he giggled, and then she giggled.
Said she: "My dearest Luke—"
And he looked, and then she looked.
"I'll have thee, if thou wilt"
And he wilted, and then she wilted.
