WILL I WHAT?
(Johnny Powell / Dick Shakespeare / Ken Hawker)


Mike Sarne (with Billie Davis) - 1962





Say there, darlin', how about a date?
Let's go 'round the coffee bar
I know one that ain't too far
Sat there, darlin', won't you come along?
Do just what I tell ya and you can't go wrong

Oh, will you let me take you walkin' (Will I what?)
Will you let me 'old yer 'and (Will I what?)
I will tell you what me game is 
If you tell me what your name is
Will ya? (I will not!)

Please don't think I'm tryin' to get fresh
Don't get so excited, you should be delighted
Don't let's stand 'ere wastin' time with words
You're a darn sight better than the other birds

Oh, will you let me take you walkin' (Will I what?)
Will you let me 'old yer 'and then (Will I what?)
I will tell you what me game is 
If you tell me what your name is
Will ya? (I will not!)

Just 'ow much can a poor bloke do
When he wants to know a bird like you

So, will you let me take you walkin' (Well, I might)
Will you let me 'old yer 'and then 
(Well, I'll think about it)
(Now I know just what your game is) 
Will ya tell me what your name is
Will ya? ('Ere, my name's Yvonne)

(Would you like to come 'ome and meet my Mum and Dad?)
(They'd like me to marry someone like you)
Marriage? No, well, I'd like to, luv, but 
Very nice offer, but I don't think I...
(Oh, go on)
No, I've just remembered I've got a date
With some of the boys down at the pub 
I've gotta go off and have a drink, uh, love too....
('Ere, come 'ere)
