A SWEET YOUNG THING

George Burns

A sweet young girl was jilted by her husband
He left her and went his merry way
With tearful eyes, she wrote a final letter
In which, her broken heart had this to say:

I'm returning ev'ry present that you gave me
I'm sending back each letter that you wrote
And ev'ry sweet memento that we cherished
The locket that I wore around my throat
Enclosed you'll find the mortgage on the house, dear
That I'm fair, you must admit is true
I'm returning everything except the baby
That's the one thing that I didn't get from you
