Hello, Ethyl. Last night eh! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, hello, Mr. Rogers, could I speak to Ethyl please? Thank you.
Is that my darling Ethyl?
Is that the girl I held in my arms last night?
The little angel who filled with with warm delight?
Oh don't be like that Ethyl, I wasn't all that late,
Well you said be there at seven, I was there by 'alf past eight.
Well I went home to change my clothes, dear,
I thought I'd wear that suit that you always liked,
You know, the one I scrounged off your brother Mike.
And when at last I met you outside the Hippodrome,
I found that in my haste I'd gone and left my wallet home.
Well that is why you had to pay, dear,
Well you always have to pay to get in the flicks,
And I'm sorry that it cost you fourteen and six.
Oh you mean that blue-eyed blonde in red who sat down next to me,
Well I don't know who she was, love, it was far too dark to see.
Well I may have played footsie with her and squeezed her hand a bit,
But I done it quite subconscious, that's the side you always sit.
I didn't want to go out with her,
It's just that, my dear, as she got up to leave,
The broach that she was wearing caught on my sleeve.
No I went down to the kiosk to get you a b*** to eat,
Well you said that you was hungry and you fancied something sweet.
What? Me flirt with the kiosk girl, oh don't be so unkind,
It's just that she had such a lot of nice things I couldn't make up my mind.
Well I knew we'd need enough to last with the big film yet to come,
And that's why it took so long to get that packet of chewing gum.
But when I took you back to my place,
Well I thought you'd like to meet the old Mom and Dad,
'Cause you know you often said that you never had.
Well I tried to make you welcome so I poured you out a gin,
And it wasn't 'til then I realized that Mom and Dad were in.
But when I switched the light out,
Well I thought you said you wanted to watch TV,
And in the dark it's much easier to see.
Well I went and switched the light out and I sat next to you, my pet,
It was only then it occurred to me we never had a set.
Well I was trying to get the matches,
They was underneath the cushion on which you sat,
Oh you know I wouldn't do a thing like that!

Ethyl? Ethyl?! Oh, women!

Hello, Phoebe. Here, fancy a little tomorrow night? About seven. Yeah, bring your purse. No, not your brother, Perce. Look, I'll see you outside the pally. I'll see you inside the pally.
