It’s Not Unusual

To fall in love

In days of old, when you took a walk
It was called a constitutional
When younger folk call it a stroll
They say, “It’s Not Unusual.

Get your best gal, and find a path
Preferably one that’s shady
And don’t forget a parasol
Remember, She’s A Lady

If you happen upon a feline
Be sure to tip your hat
And ask in the most cordial way
What’s New Pussycat?

Arm in arm, it’s such delight
No matter where you roam
But nowhere else will ever beat
The Green, Green Grass Of Home

Delilah is a special gal
She moved from Detroit City
She much prefers the country life
The city is too gritty

She shares her tragic past
Her heart broken by a friend
She relates her constant thought
I’ll Never Fall In Love Again
