Valentine's Day

When the postman don`t call on Valentine`s day And Santa Claus don`t come on a Christmas Day That umbrella won`t work on a rainy day Don`t ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef And the only pleasure treasured is in map relief The choice is yours, sure, saint or thief Don`t ask me I already know When they baked your cake in little slices, Kept your eyes on rising prices, Wound up winning booby prizes; I`m sure you`d like to think you know what life is Find destiny through magazines Liplicking, unzipping Harpers and Queens From here to eternity, Without in-betweens, Don`t ask me, I already know With your heart on parade and your heart on parole I hope you find a sucker to buy that mink stole School for scandal, Guess who`s enrolled? So ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef When the postman don`t call on Valentine`s Day When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief When you don`t tell the truth, that`s the price you pay When I`m shaking a hand, I`m clenching a fist If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed I`d be a millionaire I`d be a Fred Astaire
