(Jimmy Kennedy, Michael Carr)

As recorded by:

Recorded 10th September 1936

In story books, when people fall in love
They go all goofy goo 'neath the moon above
That's not the way my romance came to me
There wasn't any moon
That Sunday afternoon

When I saw Linda
She was looking out the window
I said, "It's lovely weather
Why can't we get together
Come out, Linda"

I know for certain
Mother sat behind the curtain
She said, "If you're ambitious
Start now and wash the dishes
Come in Linda"

Later on we slipped away
And what a fuss when they missed her
But we came back, was all OK
Mother saw the ring and cried and kissed her

Now at her winder
There's another guy with Linda
But he's a bonny laddie
And when he calls me Daddy
I kiss Linda
