London On A Rainy Night 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Jun 2002

Wasn't I the lucky fella,
she forgot her old umbrella,
Oh my, she was in a fix.
Though she hurried helter skelter
she just couldn't find a shelter,
Oh, my! What an awful fix!

It rained one night in London
and I shall never forget,
for incident'lly that's the night we met.
And when it rains in London
you can bet it really rains,
for all I know it may be raining yet.
She was a wee little maid in distress
with not a cab or omnibus in view,
so I play'd the part of a gent and I said:
"My umbrella's made for two."
Well, she took my arm so gently
and I walk'd her to her door,
I kiss'd her and she sort of held me tight,
so now we're to be married
and I'm more than thankful for
London on a rainy night.

She was really in a muddle,
stepping into ev'ry puddle
Oh, Oh, things looked rather bad.
Did she offer much resistance
when I offered my assistance?
Oh, No! She was mighty glad.
