Possibly 1927 Carroll Gibbons

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Sep 2003

There's a ridiculous singing
now going on in my heart,
tho' my meticulous bringing
up seem'd to hinder its start,
I've been a coward too long, now,
I feel especially strong now,
caution to all the winds flinging,
my love I'll tell you in part,

I mean,

If possibly, I possibly
could possibly tell you
the way I've dream'd and schem'd about you,
I mean, then possibly you possibly
might possibly well, you
might say a wedding seem'd about due.
That is, I mean to say I've seen today
rings, cute as can be!
Chose one for you
I want you to see,
for I thought possibly
it possibly might make you agree,
that you'll possibly marry me.

My heart commences to hammer
when you are coming my way,
my tongue commences to stammer
feels like a mouthful of hay.
I'm tired of being a joke, now,
I'm going to speak up or choke now,
and quite regardless of grammar
say what I'm longing to say,

Indeed rare to find something by Carroll Gibbons still
in print. I guess he was still with the Savoy Orpheans
when he wrote this. It is just full of his hallmarks.
