I will polish your shoes
I will bring you good news
Put a smile on your face
and tidy your place
As soon as you're ready
I will build you a ship
Out of matchsticks
And float it down the Thames
when we've made amends
As soon as you're ready
As soon as you're ready
As soon as you're ready
I will rattle your cage
When you act your age
As soon as you're ready
Baby clean up your paws
We could both drink some more
But to rush it too soon
On a beautiful moon
Would be a terrible waste
As soon as you're ready
As soon as you're ready
I'll have you bang to rights
I'll have you up all night
As soon as you're ready
