I heard the old man scoldin' yesterday / Because your spellin' didn't suit him quite; / He said you'd better go to school at night, / And you was rattled when he turned away; / You had to tear the letter up and write / It all again, and when nobody seen / I went and dented in his hat for spite: / That's what he got for treatin' you so mean.
I wish that you typewrote for me and we / Was far off on an island, all alone; / I'd fix a place up under some nice tree, / And every time your fingers struck a key / I'd grab your hands and hold them in my own, / And any way you spelt would do for me.
