Eddie From Ohio - Bonny Brook lyrics

Some part with the wooden ladle, some with the silver spoon Most commit their days from August to the middle of June When it's dark by four and the queen next door is more than a house away not much time for proposition at the end of a stolen day Some will ask on one knee, others prefer two Most will avoid the use of a phone as a means of a rendezvous When it's dark by four and the queen next door is more than moat away Not much time to gather prose, what on earth could you say Because I never went to Bonny Brook I never met her there and daylight savings never saved me anything and Thanksgiving time never gave me anything and Autumn's peak only made me wish for Spring and the daylight, and the wealth of time for if I want to see her all I need to do is look to see her on her way back from Bonny Brook Some go in the morning, some in the afternoon Most are stuck in the same old trap till the fifteenth or so of June Our supper bell's at five and it's black outside that's sure to keep my prince at bay not much time for courtship, plus I'm tired anyway Because he never went ot Bonny Brook he never met me there and daylight savings never saved us anything and Thanksgiving time never gave us anything and Autumn's peak only made us wish for Spring and the daylight, and the wealth of time for if he wants to see me all he needs to do is look to see me on my way back from Bonny Brook I should write it down for what would I say a literate Shirley Temple would want it that way Tell me Mrs G is your girl's name with a C or a K It doesn't matter she's asleep anyway Because I never went to Bonny Brook I never met her there and daylight savings never saved me anything and Thanksgiving time never gave me anything and Autumn's peak only made me wish for Spring and the daylight, and the wealth of time for if I want to see her all I need to do is look to see her on her way back from Bonny Brook
