One, Two, Button Your Shoe 1936 'Pennies From Heaven'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Sep 2002

I've found a use for Mother Goose
that well deserves my praise,
it's been such a consolation
when you start your tardy ways.
When we've a date,
I'm never late,
you're never quite on time,
so I made a variation
on an old familiar rhyme.

One, two, buckle your shoe,
put on your coat and hat;
I play a game like that
while I'm waiting for you.
Three, four, open the door,
hurry for heaven's sake;
I count each step you take
while I'm waiting for you.
Five, six, my heart does tricks
as I picture all your charms.
Seven, eight, you're at the gate,
and you walk into my arms.
Nine, ten, kiss me again,
tell me you get a thrill;
Just as I hope you will,
while I'm waiting for you.

One, two, buckle your shoe,
put on your coat and hat;
I play a game like that
while I'm waiting for you.
Three, four, open the door,
hurry for heaven's sake;
I count each step you take
while I'm waiting for you.
Five, six, my heart does tricks
as I picture all your charms.
Seven, eight, you're at the gate,
and you walk into my arms.
Nine, ten, kiss me again,
tell me you get a thrill;
Just as I hope you will,
while I'm waiting for you.
