Andy M. Stewart - Take Her In Your Arms lyrics

Have you seen him on the corner And his lip would reach the pavement. He's been hiding from his razor, Is he not an awful sight? In love he was the purist, How he's frightening our tourists. If he'd gone and asked his father Oh, I'm sure he'd set him right, sayin' "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her, Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight. Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her. If you're going to love a woman Then be sure you do it right." Now he met her at a disco In a dive in San Francisco And it all might have been different Had he seen her in daylight. She was painted, she was scented, But she drove your man demented If he'd gone and asked his father Oh, I'm sure he'd set him right, sayin' Here's a pub with fun and laughter The landlord's buying bevvy. There's a session in the corner And the crack is grand tonight, But your man who's lost his woman, He's still at home lamenting. If he'd gone and asked his father Oh, I'm sure he'd set him right, sayin' Now, depression's not a million laughs But suicide's too dangerous. Don't go leppin' out of buildings In the middle of the night. It's not the fall --- but landin' That'll alter social standin' So go first and ask your father Oh, I'm sure he'll set you right, sayin' Here's a health to all true lovers, Their sisters and their brothers, And their uncles and their grannies, For this thing is black and white. If you're keen to start romancin' With its leppin' and its dancin' Then go first and ask your father And I'm sure he'll set you right, sayin'
