Young Lord Fitzroy, dear old pal of ours\nOnce for sport bought some old haunted towers\nSent his valet down to get the place all right\nBut the man came back with tales of ghosts there every night\nAll round your bed, they'll stand he said, \nBut the Lord he answered gaily as he scratches curly head\n\nOh I don't care if there's a girl there\nThat's the place where I'd like to be\nI don't care if there's a girl there \nJust to keep me company \nYoung or old girls, shy or bold girls\nThey all know my pedigree \nI don't care if there's a girl there\nWhere the girls are you'll find me<\/em>\n\nWeekends we spend bathing in the sea \nOne noon, last June Uncle Timothy \nBought a bathing suit and said he'd learn to swim \nWhen he saw the sea he said it looked too wet for him \nOne little maid cried you're afraid\nSaid uncle, as he toddled in to slap the saucy Jade\n\n\n<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
