Three Times A Day 1925 'Tell Me More'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Apr 2005

[Ken:] If I had my way.
I'd trail you night and day,
for I so crave your company,
I'd be in it ev'ry minute!
But upon my soul,
I'll exercise control,
in case it be that you should see
more than just enough of me!

I'll call 'round about three times a day;
maybe I could make it four!
You may throw me out three times a day,
but I'll come right back for more!
When the sky falls into the ocean blue,
that's when I will stop proposing to you,
for I long to see your smiling face
across the table, dear,
three times a day!

I'll call 'round about three times a day;
maybe I could make it four!
You may throw me out three times a day,
but I'll come right back for more!
When the sky falls into the ocean blue,
that's when I will stop proposing to you,
for I long to see your smiling face
across the table, dear,
three times a day!

[Peggy:] Yes, I realize that you are very wise
in limiting our rendezvous,
such a stand'll cause no scandal.
Just three times a day is quite enough, I'd say;
but if your calls are more than three,
folks might think you fond of me!

I'll call 'round about three times a day;
maybe I could make it four!
You may throw me out three times a day,
but I'll come right back for more!
When the sky falls into the ocean blue,
that's when I will stop proposing to you,
for I long to see your smiling face
across the table, dear,
three times a day!

I'll call 'round about three times a day;
maybe I could make it four!
You may throw me out three times a day,
but I'll come right back for more!
When the sky falls into the ocean blue,
that's when I will stop proposing to you,
for I long to see your smiling face
across the table, dear,
three times a day!
