A Little Nest For Two 1919 'My Golden Girl'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Sep 2004

[Tom:] To make a little nest for two
just do the way the birdies do
some leaves and twigs
orange blossom springs
scraps of paper billet doux.
[Kitty:] Bound round with bits of string
for this you use that useful thing
a wedding ring.
[Both:] Then line it all with virtues three:
Contentment, Love, and Loyalty.
For that's the only way that's true
to build a nest for two.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Just like the birdies do
we'll build a nest among the trees
just big enough for two.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Be faithful, tender, true
and you will find that that's the only way
when you build a nest for two.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Just like the birdies do
we'll build a nest among the trees
just big enough for two.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
Be faithful, tender, true
and you will find that that's the only way
when you build a nest for two.
