A timid suitor (Remastered)

V4

[Violin intro] [Verse 1] My chick turned her cheek. I was going to kiss her, to kiss. And suddenly a pelican with a huge beak! And I miss this chance, I miss! [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [Verse 2] My girl has eyebrows drawn. I was going to kiss her, to kiss. But the swan hissed terribly! Oh terrible swan! And I miss this chance, I miss. [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [Multi-instrumental interlude] [Verse 3] My girlfriend walked with me until dark I was going to kiss her, to kiss. But the duck flapped wings terribly! Oh terrible duck! And I miss this chance, I miss. [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [Trombone solo] [Bridge] [Verse 4] For a kiss Hyde Park is not a good place. My girl has a disappointed glance. Here's the case of a missed kiss, the case. I didn't have a chance! No chance. [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [Verse 5] Tomorrow I'll invite my chick to the back row At the cinema or to St. James Park. I will kiss her and her cheeks will glow And her eyes will glow in the dark. [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [Verse 6] My chick turned her cheek. I was going to kiss her, to kiss. But I was scared of a pelican with a huge beak! And I miss this chance, I miss! [Saxophone outro] [Chorus] Oh my chick has rosy right cheek! Oh my chick has rosy left cheek! Oh I can kiss her! Well I can! But the pelican! But the pelican! But the pelicaaaaaaaaaan! [End]
