Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Beneath the tide the fishes glide

Fin to fin and side to side

For fishy love has now begun

Fishy love, finny fun

Paper moon, paper heart

Pink balloon, work of art

Al Capone, Bugs Moran

Valentine's Day

Bootleg gin, porkpie hat

Dew Drop Inn, dirty rat

Through the heart, Cupid's dart

Valentine's Day

Day to repay the one that you love

Gentlemen take off your hats as I speak thereof

Just a brief break from the push and the shove

We may go a few rounds without boxing gloves

Land your punch, I stand my ground

We break for lunch and a second round

We set them up, we knock them down

Valentine's Day

Me and you, you and him

Him and her, us and them

We keep score, love as war

Valentine's Day

I lost my teeth, I lost my hair

I lost my mind, you don't care

Love is war, all is fair

On Valentine's Day
